Electrochemistry Group

The Electrochemistry Group of the RSC represents and co-ordinates the interests of a very wide range of scientists involved with all aspects of electrochemistry. Its members come from further and higher education and public and private research laboratories. Moreover, the Group boasts a significant number of international members. The objectives of the Group are to organise events, promote the involvement of postgraduate students in regional, national and international conferences, inform its members and provide a mechanism for discussion. In order to advise research councils and industries, the Group co-ordinates reports on current and future trends in research and applications of electrochemistry. 

• The primary mission of the Electrochemistry Group is to provide a central focus for the development of basic, strategic and applied electrochemistry. The group plays a central role in the organisation of the main UK national electrochemistry conference every year, the Electrochem Conference Series, which, since the first Electrochem '94 conference in Edinburgh, has established itself as a central forum for discussion and debate. 

• The Electrochemistry Group has been actively involved in the organisation of a number of Faraday discussions. The Electrochemistry Group also financially supports regional electrochemistry meetings. The idea of such meetings is to allow graduates to give lectures on their PhD work whilst incurring no more costs than travel to and from a local venue. Examples for successful graduate meetings are the Northwest, the Midlands and the M4 (Southwest) meetings.
