Conference Description

The 2020 Electrochemistry GRC is celebrating its 50th meeting and is shaping up to be one of the most exciting and important meetings in fundamental electrochemistry applied to organic and inorganic molecular materials, electrocatalysis, energy storage and bioelectrochemistry. We expect to bring together an outstanding and diverse group of scientists at the forefront of research and will make every attempt to include younger scientists and students as well.

Related Meeting

This GRC will be held in conjunction with the "Electrochemistry" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC. Refer to the associated GRS program page for more information.
