The organizers of PRiME 2020 are thankful for the generous support of the Meeting Sponsors, Exhibitors, and Symposium Sponsors. Please make sure to check out our Digital Exhibitor & Vendor Guide for information from the leading companies in the electrochemical and solid state science industries. To this end, the JSAP holds annual conferences; publishes scientific journals; actively sponsors events, symposia, and festivals related to science education; and compiles information related to state-of-the-art technology for the public. JSAP began as an applied physics discussion group that was formed in 1930 with an interest in real-world applications of academic theory. JSAP’s aim, as written in our articles of association, is to “engage in activities relating to the promotion of research in applied physics and other related academic fields, and to disseminate the results thereof, thereby contributing to the development of society.” JSAP was established as an official academic society in 1946, and since then, it has been a leading academic society in Japan. The society’s interests cover a broad variety of scientific and technological fields, and JSAP continues to explore state-of-the-art and interdisciplinary topics. The Chinese Society of Electrochemistry (CSE) was founded in the first National Electrochemical Conference on June 25-26, 1988. The committee adopted a system of rotating chairmen which reappoints the chairmen every four years. The first chairmen were Zhao-Wu Tian, Chuan-Sin Cha, and Hao-Qing Wu. The current chairmen are Li-Jun Wan and Shi-Gang Sun. CSE organizes regular biennial academic conferences on Chinese electrochemistry, i.e., National Conference on Electrochemistry (NCE). Only 16 delegates attended the first NCE meeting in 1988. In 2019, more than 5,000 delegates from 600 institutions attended the 20th NCE. Currently, CSE has nine branches: (1) Analysis Electrochemistry, (2) Bioelectrochemistry, (3) Chemical Power Sources, (4) Fuel Cells, (5) Nanoelectrochemistry, (6) Material Electrochemistry, (7) Industrial and Organic Electrochemistry, (8) Physical Electrochemistry, and (9) Photoelectrochemistry. The CSE also established a series of awards aimed at commending outstanding contributors in the electrochemical field: the Electrochemical Achievement Award of China, Electrochemical Contribution Award of China, and Electrochemical Youth Award of China. The CSE has also set up cooperation and exchanges with international electrochemical communities, for example, the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE), and The Electrochemical Society (ECS). Established in 1951 and having around 10,000 members from Japan and worldwide, SPSJ is now one of the oldest and largest organizations dedicated to polymers (macromolecules) and will have its 70th anniversary in 2021. SPSJ organizes eight regional chapters and a special chapter for management people in polymer industries in Japan. SPSJ sponsors three major meetings a year, and eight lecture meetings every year discussing current topics on polymer science and technology or relevant general issues. SPSJ has also organized the International Polymer Conference (IPC) every two or three years since 1984, with the aim of contributing to international scientific exchange among the countries worldwide. SPSJ has 21 research groups covering various fields of polymer science and technology, such as polymer gels, polymer surface & interface, plastic films, biomedical polymers, adhesion and coatings, super molecule, etc. Each research group is very active with study and lecture meetings for the purpose of information exchange in each research area. SPSJ monthly publishes its organ “Kobunshi: High Polymers, Japan” which is delivered to every member and “Polymer Journal (in English)” which is the international peer-reviewed journal. KIChE publishes “Korean Chemical Engineering Research” in Korean and two bimonthly journals, “Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering” in English, and “News and Information for Chemical Engineers (NICE)” in Korean. “Korean Chemical Engineering Research” and “Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering” contain technical articles about applications and theoretical developments in chemical engineering. They cover cutting-edge advances in chemical engineering science and technology, in the key technical areas of chemical engineering—chemical reactions, energy transfer/conversion, environmental science, transport phenomena, process systems engineering, separations, thermodynamics, and biochemical technology. NICE has articles on state-of-the-art current applications, and provides information concerning new technology, new patents, and conferences.

The Electrochemical Society of Japan (ECSJ)
The Electrochemical Society of Japan was founded to foster scientific and industrial progress in the fields of electrochemistry and industrial physical chemistry. Rapid changes in both academic and industrial environments have been seen, with important increases in the scope covered by the discipline of electrochemistry, as well as in the circumstances affecting the industry in the intervening years. ECSJ continues to remain responsive to this rapid progress and to contribute significantly to advances in this field.
The Korean Electrochemical Society (KECS)
The Korean Society of Electrochemistry is dedicated to promoting academic and technological developments of electrochemical science in both theory and application. KECS also provides training, education, and many opportunities for researchers and engineers to make significant advancements in the field of electrochemistry-based science and technology.
The Electrochemical Society (ECS)
The Electrochemical Society’s mission is to advance theory and practice at the forefront of electrochemical and solid state science and technology, and allied subjects by encouraging research, discussion, critical assessment, and dissemination of knowledge in these fields through meetings, publications, educational opportunities, and more. Our members are making key discoveries that address global sustainability challenges such as renewable energy, food safety, water sanitation, and medical diagnosis and care.
