41st Topical Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry

You are warmly invited to the 41st Topical Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry which will take place in Belgrade, Serbia, from 7 to 10 June 2026. The meeting will be hosted by the University of Belgrade – Faculty of Civil Engineering, situated in a historic cultural heritage building in the broader city center. Belgrade, a lively metropolis of over two million residents, serves as the cultural, educational, and scientific hub of Southeast Europe. It is also home to the renowned Belgrade School of Electrochemistry, celebrated for its ongoing contributions to the field. As the leading academic institution in Serbia and the surrounding region, the University of Belgrade offers an intellectually stimulating environment. The 42nd Topical Meeting will provide a dynamic platform for exchanging research and exploring innovation in corrosion and surface modification, fostering collaboration across disciplines in electrochemistry and promoting green processes and technologies. We look forward to welcoming you to Belgrade, where outstanding science
combines with inspiring surroundings.

Scientific Scope of the Conference

The meeting will cover all aspects of corrosion science and surface modification using a wide array of methods, ranging from fundamentals to applications in various engineering processes and technologies. It aims to unite researchers from diverse fields related to surface modification to explore its effects on material properties and durability, including novel environmentally friendly coatings, advanced electrode materials in electrocatalysis, batteries and supercapacitors, bioelectrochemistry, biomedical applications, and sensor performance, among others.

Different aspects of developing advanced modified “green” functional surfaces will offer an interdisciplinary approach to surface functionalization and characterization, while also fostering discussion for further advancements in the boundaries of fundamental and applied electrochemistry and material science.
