Financial assistance

Many ECS divisions offer students, postdoctoral researchers, and young professionals travel grants to attend ECS biannual meetings. Applications, which are available online, must be received by February 28, 2021. Symposium organizers generally govern any additional limited financial assistance. To determine if additional funding is available, contact the organizers of the symposium in which you are presenting. For general travel grant questions, contact travelgrant@electrochem.org.

Publish your paper

ECS Transactions (ECST), ECS’s official conference proceedings publication, features full-text content of ECS meeting and ECS-sponsored meeting proceedings. A high-quality venue for authors and an excellent resource for researchers, ECST’s full papers and posters are reviewed to ensure that submissions meet generally accepted scientific standards. All accepted ECST paper authors are encouraged to submit their papers to the Society’s technical journals. Visit the ECST website for additional information, including overall guidelines, deadlines, instructions, a manuscript template, and more.

Special accommodations for attendees living with disabilities are handled on an individual basis. If you require accomondations, contact meetings@electrochem.org immediately.

Dress code

The attire for the conference is business casual. Session rooms can be cold, so dress in layers. Given the amount of walking you will do, wear comfortable shoes.  

Gothenburg weather in October is chilly. Average temperatures range from 43-53°F (6°-12°C). Check the forecast and plan accordingly.

What to bring:
  • Business Cards – With ample time to network, have plenty of cards to distribute.
  • Day bag – Between early sessions and evening poster receptions, meeting days are long. Bring a backpack or briefcase to carry needed items, as there aren’t many opportunities to return to your hotel room.
  • Reusable water bottle and coffee mug; go green!
  • Notebook and pen – Make sure to have these on hand at all times.
Who to ask

ECS staff members are easy to identify. Look for our signature polo shirts with the ECS logo or nametags with “Staff” ribbons. We are always happy to answer your questions or listen to feedback.
