Early Career Forum

The ECS Electrodeposition Division (ELDP) launched the Early Career Forum (ECF) to bring together PhD and MSc students, postdocs, and starting assistant professors or young professionals around the world doing research in electroless and electrochemical deposition and related fields. The forum aims to be a platform for the regular exchange of ideas, including short talks and open discussion sessions, allowing the members to benefit from the experience of other early career researchers. The format is similar to ECS Student Chapters, but on an international level. (more…)

The ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology is publishing a focus issue in connection with the 241st ECS Meeting Carbon Nanostructures and Devices symposia.

The ECS Nanocarbon Division offers eight to 10 symposia covering different aspects of nanocarbon research in the Society’s spring meeting and a general nanocarbon symposium in the fall meeting. About 15-20 percent of the presented papers in the spring meeting are from symposia offered by the nanocarbon division. Researchers across the globe participate in these meetings.

This focus issue is intended to encourage the up-and-coming younger generation of scientists working on nanocarbons to participate in ECS Nanocarbon Division activities and publish their work in Society journals. This intended high-impact issue will provide up-to-date information on all areas of nanocarbon research. (more…)

We’re here to champion you!

ECS champions members and their research

When the rock group Queen sang “We are the champions of the world,” they could have been describing ECS members.

“Science and scientists are absolutely vital to solving health issues and climate change—the grand challenges confronting society. The ECS community—scientists and engineers, students and postdocs, young and old minds—has a great role to play in solving these problems.”
