In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the PRiME 2020 cosponsors—The Electrochemical Society, The Electrochemical Society of Japan, and The Korean Electrochemical Society—are converting the in-person PRiME 2020 meeting to an exclusively online event.
The cosponsors determined that it was impossible to host the meeting in person without risking the health and safety of meeting attendees and volunteers, ECS staff, and the public at large. It is indeed unfortunate that the amazing plans for the in-person PRiME meeting will not take place as initially envisioned, however, the organizers are extremely excited for the opportunities this reimagined digital PRiME affords. Most notably, for the first time in PRiME’s history, access to all of the program’s technical presentations will be freely available to the entire global community. All are welcome to attend!
To support open access to the full PRiME technical program, presenters are asked to pay a registration fee to upload their digital presentation files. This fee is significantly less than the planned registration fees for the in-person meeting.
Transitioning a meeting of this size to a digital format is no small task for the volunteer organizers and staff, dedicated and talented as they are. Therefore, your support and patience are requested as this complicated process is worked through. ECS will publish regular updates over the coming weeks to keep the community abreast of the latest developments.
Please review important information below and visit the PRiME web site for the latest updates and details.
