On behalf of the organisers K. Antonopoulos, F. Calle-Vallejo, C.S. Cucinotta, M. T. M. Koper and M. Kosa, I would like to announce the workshop:

Fundamental Electrocatalysis: Theory Meets Experiments
Lorentz Center & Psi-k workshop 26-30 June 2017, Lorentz Center@Leiden

This workshop, supported by the Psi-k network and the Lorentz Center, aims at bringing together knowledge from the fields of molecular electronics, computational and experimental electrochemistry, to enhance our ability to model charge transport and chemical transformations in electrochemical environment. We will discuss the state of the art and will address the current open challenges in fundamental electrocatalysis adopting a multidisciplinary perspective. Focus will be on how to bridge the gap between theoretical and experimental description of electrochemical transformation at the nanoscale.

Further information can be found on the workshop website:

24 Prof. Ismaila Dabo, Penn State University, US.
25 Prof. Hans Geerlings, TU Delft & Shell, NL
26 Prof. Jean-Sébastien Filhol, Institut Charles Gerhadt Montpellier, FR

Each invited speaker is asked to give a 35-minute presentation (not including the discussion of appr. 15 min). Other participants will be able to present their work in a poster session. Considerable amount of time will be dedicated to discussion sessions, thus stimulating an interactive atmosphere and encouraging collaborations between participants. This format typically generates extensive debates and enables significant progress to be made within the research topic of the meeting.

There are still some open slots for participants. If you are interested to actively participate in this workshop and present a poster, please contact Dr. Clotilde S. Cucinotta ([email protected]) of Dr. Monica Kosa ([email protected] ) by April 15th, 2016.

Best regards,

Clotilde Cucinotta
