Venue: University of Southampton, UK
Date: 7 - 9 July 2008

Registration is now open. Register by 9 May to take advantage of the early booking fees.

This unique discussion meeting will bring electrochemists, surface scientists and theoreticians together and foster the development of both in situ spectroscopic methods in electrochemistry and theoretical methods which model the electrocatalytic interface.

It will be opened with an introductory lecture by Marc Koper from Leiden University in the Netherlands.

Discussion sessions:

• Structure in Electrocatalysis: from nanoparticles to single crystals
• Spectroscopy and Electrocatalysis
• Hydrogen oxidation and oxygen reduction
• Biological electrocatalysis and alcohols as fuels   

Proofs of the invited and contributed selected papers will be circulated well before the meeting. Since each paper has been read in advance, Faraday Discussion 140 will be able to concentrate on genuine fruitful debate. The whole of the proceedings will be subsequently published including submitted Discussion remarks which include those that 'the contributors said, or think they said or wished they had said'. This means that any delegate at the conference has the opportunity to make a major contribution.
