The Event: The Danish Electrochemical Society (DEF) is organising an annual two-day conference on Electrochemical Science and Technology. This year the event is co-organised by various Danish R&D projects revolving around Fuel-Cell and Electrolysis technologies for operation at low temperatures (< 200 ºC) such as polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM)-based cells and alkaline electrolysis cells. The aim of this special arrangement is to facilitate the dissemination of the current status and key findings from the projects. The co-organising projects are:

4M Centre, NonPrecious, SmartMEA, UPCAT, UPGRADE/Biofuel, BEEST, Wind2H, e-STORE, HEALTH-CODE, KDFuelCell, Power2Hydrogen/HyBalance, and Z-gap/PorouZ

Invited Speakers: This year's meeting has four invited speakers concentrating on different aspects of low-temperature fuel cells, electrolysis, and related electrocatalysis:

• Prof. Dr. Werner Lehnert, Jülich: “Experimental validation of a HT-PEFC computational model”

• Prof. Dr. Dirk Henkensmeier, Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST): “Membranes for HT PEM Fuel Cells”

• Prof. Dr. Matthias Arenz, University of Bern: “Mass transport in electrocatalytic reactions”

• Assistant Prof. Maria Escudero Escribano, University of Copenhagen: “Enhanced electrocatalysis of the oxygen evolution and reduction reactions in acidic electrolyte”
