Editorial 'Spain-France Special Collection: Current Trends in Electrochemistry'

Abstract

The Meeting of the Electrochemistry Group of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (RSEQ) is an annual event that has taken place since the late 1970s. The meeting brings together the entire Spanish electrochemistry community at a single event to discuss the latest advances in our field, and normally takes place in different Spanish cities. Over the last decade, mainly due to the deep economic crisis experienced in Spain, the number of electrochemists trained in Spain who have emigrated and today lead important groups in other European countries and in the USA has grown significantly. Thus, the XLI Meeting of the Electrochemistry Group was organized in Paris (France) in 2021, and served to regroup all electrochemists trained in Spain, both emigrants and residents. By holding the meeting outside of Spain, the Electrochemistry Group aimed to internationalize the group's meetings and to strengthen collaborations with the French electrochemistry community.
