42nd Topical Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry

You are cordially invited to the 42nd Topical Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry, which will be held in Espoo, Finland. The conference will take place on the Aalto University campus in Espoo, situated in the Helsinki region along the Baltic Sea shore.

Realizing that the green transition requires the adoption of various electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies has generated intensive research on both established and novel solutions. More sustainable materials, processes, and technologies are needed to enhance these transitions. We aim to spark intensive discussions regarding both fundamental and applied aspects of electrochemically active materials and systems, covering batteries (e.g., lithium, sodium, and flow batteries), electrolysers, and other electrochemical energy technologies.

Scientific Scope of the Conference

Sustainable electrochemical technologies are vital for the green transition. We
invite contributions that improve understanding and development of components for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. This conference will showcase advancements in cutting-edge technologies, materials, and fundamental processes in these applications. Topics will cover applied research on material properties, theoretical aspects, tools for innovation, and in-situ and operando studies of functionality and aging mechanisms.

We invite presentations covering, but not limited to, these topics:

• Computational applications for material design.
• Method development and algorithms for electrochemical purposes.
• Tools and methodologies to accelerate materials discovery and development.
• In-situ and operando characterization for real-time diagnostics of electrochemical processes.
• Aging mechanisms and mitigation strategies.
• System integration, cell-level performance, and optimization.
• Novel materials and emerging technologies.
• Techno-economic and life-cycle analysis.

Presentation Guide

Oral Presentation Instructions
• Presentations must be set up prior to the beginning of the session
• Preferred: Bring your presentation on a memory stick compatible with a PC computer

Alternatively: Personal laptop computers may be used, but you must ensure compatibility with the LCD projector prior to the start of the session. Also bring a memory stick as a backup.
Overhead projectors will not be supplied except upon special request at least one month before the conference and at the speaker’s expense.

Poster Presentation Instructions
Poster presentation size: 90-cm wide × 150-cm high (The A0 portrait format (84.1-cm wide × 118.9-cm high) is recommended for the posters).

Venue and Location

Conference Venue

The conference will take place at the renovated Undergraduate Center
located on the Aalto University campus, which was established in the 1950s. The appearance of the campus area reflects the vision of the renowned Finnish
architect Alvar Aalto, while other celebrated Finnish architects have designed
individual buildings. The campus is conveniently served by a frequent metro
connection to Helsinki city, with a travel time of 10-15 minutes.

Transportation

By air: Helsinki–Vantaa is Finland’s largest airport, with frequent flights to major European cities and regular transport to Helsinki. The easiest way to Aalto University is by regional train from the airport to Helsinki central station (about 30 minutes), then take the metro to Aalto University stop (approximately 15 minutes).

By sea: Helsinki is accessible from Stockholm via overnight ferries docking near the city center. Ferries from Tallinn to Helsinki run multiple times daily, taking 2-3 hours. Various ferry operators use different harbors in Helsinki, with Katajanokka and West Terminal providing convenient local transport to the city and Aalto University campus.

Climate

Finnish summer weather is mild and varies each year, with temperatures from 10 to 30 °C and occasional rain. The average maximum temperature in June is 20 °C and the minimum is 10 °C. Finland’s rich nature invites outdoor exploration year-round.

Accommodation

There are many hotels near Espoo, ranging from budget-friendly options to high-end accommodations. One notable choice is the Original Sokos Hotel Tapiola Garden, located conveniently in central Espoo, offering comfortable lodging and well-equipped conference facilities.
