WEEM 2026 · International Workshop

International Workshop on Electrochemically-active Materials

The WEEM 2026 workshop brings together leading scientists and young researchers working on electrochemistry of electroactive materials, with applications in energy storage, electrocatalysis, sensing and related fields.

About WEEM

Contributions related to all aspects of electrochemically active materials, from their synthesis, characterization and fundamental aspects of electrochemical processes to potential or actual applications are welcome.

The scope includes (but is not limited to) the topics:

• All electrochemical aspects of various electroactive materials, in particular:
  Synthesis and characterization of conducting/conjugated and redox polymers, organic and inorganic as well as composite/hybrid electroactive systems. Reactions at electrodes modified by electroactive materials or their (nano)composites. Applications of electroactive materials: catalysis and electrocatalysis, electroanalysis, sensors and actuators, membranes, energy storage, batteries and supercapacitors, solar energy conversion, electrochromic and nonlinear-optic materials, nanosciences and molecular electronics etc, in relation to fundamental properties of the used electroactive material.
• Recent developments in various areas of electrochemically-active materials:
  Dissolution or/and deposition of electrode materials. Electrochemically based sensors. Electrochemistry of nanomaterials. Electrode-surface modification. Catalysis of electrochemical reactions, etc. Presentations on both fundamental aspects of these materials and their applications are invited.

Participation of young researchers and scientists from interdisciplinary areas is strongly encouraged.

Program of WEEM-2026 will include keynote, oral and poster presentations. About a half of the overall sessions' time will be used for questions and discussions after each oral presentation, with accent towards hot topics and unresolved problems of the area.

Official language is English.

Conference Venue

The conference will be held in Bellamonte (hotelsancelso.com), a resort on the Southern slope of the Italian Alpes, inside the picturesque Dolomite region, famous for its beautiful rocky mountains, bright sun, blue sky and fresh mountainous air.

Our intent is to ensure the accommodation of all participants within close proximity to the conference center, with the entire hotel space being occupied by them. Such arrangement is chosen to facilitate intensive and fruitful discussions between participants during both the sessions and the meals, in combination with enjoying a beautiful mountainous landscape of Bellamonte ("Beautiful Mountain").

Detailed description of the transportation (with special buses for participants) from/to the airport "Venice Marco Polo" as well as from/to Mestre-Venezia, accommodation (lodging and meals) at the conference place, social program for participants as well as touristic attractions of the area will be provided in the 2nd circular.

The 2nd circular will be sent to the potential participants of the meeting who will provide us in time with their Application Forms (see below).

Abstract Guidelines

Extended Abstracts

Extended abstract of a presentation for the conference proceedings should be submitted in electronic form (*.doc, *.docx,) by each participant via email to the address weem2026@unive.it by April 15. Its length should not extend 3 pages including embedded figures and references. Please use the template file provided at WEEM-2026 web-site.

Larger files can be sent in compressed form (.zip). If a participant has not provided an extended abstract by April 15 the corresponding abstracts sent for preliminary registration in the Application Forms will be included in the conference proceedings.

Electronic conference proceedings will be available as downloadable file at WEEM-2026 web-site before the beginning of the conference.

Abstract Submission

Submission will be available for registered users only. Registered participants will receive username and password by email after completing the registration form.
