12th EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM ON ELECTROCHEMICAL ENGINEERING

All around us we can see the rapid electrification of our society, changing how we recover valuable resources in a more sustainable way, make chemical products, store energy, provide energy to our houses, and go from place to place. Increasingly we move from molecular building blocks and processes towards a world where the electron is the carrier of energy and information, and is the key building block to create new materials.

It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the 12th European Symposium on Electrochemical Engineering (ESEE 2021). This international scientific conference will be streaming online on June 14-17, 2021, from Leeuwarden, The Netherlands. The scope of ESEE 2021 is “Electrochemistry for electrification and energy transition toward a sustainable future”, which captures our aim to showcase scientific advances in physical, chemical, and biochemical routes towards a future where electrochemical engineering is part of a sustainable society, closing resource cycles and contributing to zero-pollution mobility and manufacturing.

The 12th European Symposium on Electrochemical Engineering is a vibrant international scientific conference, where we discuss electrochemical engineering from the scale of molecules to complete systems. It is a meeting place for all attendants to present and discuss new scientific and commercial ideas, motivated by scientific curiosity and excellence, and thereby inspire our community to move forward in exciting and relevant ways.

The ESEE 2021 is a place to share both experimental as well as theoretical findings in the field of electrochemical engineering. Out of the many relevant topics that are within the scope of this international scientific conference, important examples are the search for sustainable, safe, and affordable methods for water treatment (desalination and micropollutant removal), as well as energy storage at high efficiency and low costs.

We are looking forward to seeing you at ESEE 2021 in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands.

Dear presenters at the ESEE 2021 conference,

We are glad to announce the possibility for you to publish your conference contributions in special issues of two different journals; Journal of Applied Electrochemistry https://www.springer.com/journal/10800 and Electrochemical Science Advances https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/26985977. While Journal of Applied Electrochemistry is well known to most of us, Electrochemical Science Advances is a new Open Access journal by Wiley-VCH.

You are all invited to send a manuscript to one of these journals. Submission will open the week after the conference (June 21). No publication charge will apply for Electrochemical Science Advances for the special issue and more detailed information about the submission procedure for this journal can be found in the attached letter (download here).

Further instructions will be distributed prior to the conference by email and on the ESEE 2021 web page http://www.electrochemical-engineering.eu/2021/.

Looking forward to your contributions,

Guest editorial team Ann Cornell, Claudia Weidlich and Karel Bouzek
Unfortunately, we have decided to hold the whole conference fully ONLINE, since the pandemic situation in the Netherlands is not getting any better. 

You can now register for the conference with full access to the live-streaming of all scientific sessions. For delegates who have already registered as on-site participants, we will contact you for refunds of your registration fee. 

Important information regarding the conference format

It is hard to estimate how international traveling will be affected in the upcoming months, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are aware that many presenting authors and attendees might experience several travel restrictions (travel bans or quarantine periods*), and might not be able to be physically present in Leeuwarden.

 

To allow all speakers to present their work and deal with such dynamic situation, the ESEE 2021 conference will be organized as follows:

  • Day 1-2 (Mon 14th – Tue 15th): HYBRID event: The first two days of ESEE 2021 will be run in a hybrid format, facilitating both on-site and online participation. We encourage all the speakers/attendees that will be able to travel to join us in Leeuwarden. All sessions will be live-streamed, to allow online participation for registered participants
  • Day 3-4 (Wed 16th – Thu 17th): ONLINE event. The last two days of ESEE 2021 will be run fully online, to allow presenting authors with travel restrictions to present their work.

 

Please note that, In the case of severe restrictions from the Dutch government, the whole event will be fully held online.

The ESEE 2021 will be a hybrid conference with live streaming of all sessions for registered participants. All presenting authors are expected to physically attend the event. In the case of pandemic constraints, the conference will be fully held online.

Registration is closed due to maintenance, and it will be opened as soon as possible. Call for abstracts remains open!
You can use the following link to submit abstracts now.

The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting all of us, and we are aware that many participants may experience severe travelling restrictions in the upcoming months.

Therefore, we have decided to reschedule the 12th European Symposium on Electrochemical Engineering (ESEE). The event will be held in the same location (Leeuwarden, The Netherlands) on June 13-17, 2021.

We believe that rescheduling ESEE will ensure a broad participation and a successful event.

We would like to thank all the colleagues, speakers, sponsors, and organizing partners that helped us in the past months to shape an exciting scientific program.

We sincerely hope that your family and friends will stay safe and healthy during these difficult times, and we look forward to seeing you next year in Leeuwarden.

The situation with the corona virus pandemic in Europe is serious, and the measures taken by national governments are rapidly changing. 

The ESEE 2020 organizing committee is carefully following all the measures advised by the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), the local health authority (GGD), and the Dutch government.

We understand you may be concerned about registering to the conference due to current situation. In this regard, the ESEE 2020 organizing committee has taken the following measures:

- Early-bird registration deadline has been extended to April 30, 2020
- For cancellation provided as written notice by May 10, 2020, a full refund will be given less a 10% administration charge
- For cancellation provided as written notice by May 24, 2020, a 50% refund will be given.

More information on the corona virus situation in the Netherlands can be found on the RIVM website.
