Why serve as a poster competition judge for an ECS biannual meeting? And what can student poster presenters learn from the judges’ perspectives? We posed these questions to several judges of the Z01 General Student Poster Competition judges to gain insight into why volunteering as a judge is a rewarding experience and what makes a standout poster.

Established in 1995, the Z01 poster session gives graduate and undergraduate students a forum to present research of general interest to the ECS community. Its goals are to foster and promote work in electrochemical and solid state science and technology while encouraging active student interest and participation in the Society. Any student who enters a poster is eligible to compete for one of three awards (provided they meet a few submission requirements).

But the awards are only part of the story. As the jurors’ insights reveal, the competition offers valuable opportunities for both presenters and judges. (more…)

Honoring Scientific Achievement and Service 

The Electrochemical Society (ECS) has updated the ECS Fellow eligibility criteria to better reflect the breadth and evolving contributions that advance electrochemical and solid state science and technology. 

The Society established the designation of Fellow in 1989 to recognize members whose outstanding individual contributions have advanced electrochemical and/or solid state science and technology. The distinction also honors members for their active involvement and service to the Society, establishing a lasting tradition of recognizing both technical achievement and dedication to the ECS community. As of 2026, nearly 430 members have been named Fellow of The Electrochemical Society.
