ECS Canada Section Spring Meeting 2023

The ECS Canada Section Spring Meeting was held at Queen’s University in Kingston, ON. 

The title of the meeting was: "Recent Trends and Advances in Electrochemistry and Electrocatalysis in Canada". 

The meeting was organized by Prof. Gregory Jerkiewicz.

The keynote lectures were delivered by Christophe Coutanceau, Professor at Université de Poitiers, and Andrew Stuart, President and CEO at Hydrogen Optimized. Gianluigi Botton, Science Director at the Canadian Light Source, presented an overview of the CLS capabilities and explained how it serves the Canadian industry, government, and university researchers. Invited speakers from Canadian universities and research institutions furthered the discussions of recent research and industrial advances during their lectures and in open conversation during the student poster session and networking breaks. The meeting offered Canadian students and researchers an opportunity to connect with fellow electrochemistry researchers, as well as to explore current and upcoming goals from an industrial perspective.
