Mini symposium 1: 3rd Workshop on Electrochemical Engineering: Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrocatalysis

Summary

The Working Party on Electrochemical Engineering is one of the divisions of the EFCE, which aims to promote knowledge, applications and networking in the field of electrochemical engineering and applied electrochemistry (http://www.efce.info/Electrochemical+Engineering.html).

To do this, we organize every three years a scientific meeting (European Symposia on Electrochemical Engineering), an educational activity (European Summer Schools on Electrochemical Engineering) and an award (The Carl Wagner Medal of Excellence in Electrochemical Engineering).

Recently, we have realized that there is a need for scientific as well as general discussion in our field, in particular within congresses focused on chemical engineering. Thus, in order to allow setting a place for discussion on Electrochemical Engineering within the European and World Congresses on Chemical Engineering, our WP has designed a new type of event: the Workshop on Electrochemical Engineering. It consists of a topical meeting tailored to the aim of the Congresses, fitted into their frame and organized with the support of the national community of electrochemists and electrochemical engineers, in charge of the organization of the general congress.

The debate started during the two previous meetings: ECCE10th in Nice, in 2015 and WCCE10 in Barcelona, in 2017. The first one in Nice was focused on strengthening the collaboration between companies and academics within the electrochemical engineering community; the second one, was co-organized with the Spanish Excellence Network on Environmental and Energy Applications of the Electrochemical Technology.

For the ECCE12 the 3rd Workshop on Electrochemical Engineering aims to continue the discussion on the role of Electrochemical Engineering on the current scientific and industrial scenario, focusing on the impact of the electrochemical and bio-electrochemical technologies on emerging and traditional problems such as the global energy market and the energy supply, the water and soil remediation/preservation, as well as the synthesis and modeling of new performing materials for electro and photo-electro-catalytic processes.

Participants will be researchers and industrialists with interests in electrochemistry or electrochemical engineering. Presentations of research interests will be combined with discussions on new ways to collaborate and associated problems and opportunities. Short research presentations will finish with a round table discussion of strategic topics in electrochemical engineering. In addition, there will be a ‘partnering’ session to discuss possibilities for collaboration You may also take advantage of the general meeting and interact with other communities in chemical engineering. We hope you find this exciting and will join us in this meeting. We look forward to welcoming you
