The forum brought together 75 participants from seven countries – Bulgaria, Germany, Portugal, Italy, Slovenia, Poland and the Czech Republic – representing scientific organisations, universities and the business sector. The \u201cSofia Electrochemical Days\u201d conferences, which have been held biennially since 1996, are organised by the \u201cAcademician Evgeni Budevski\u201d Institute of Electrochemistry and Energy Systems \u2013 BAS.<\/p>\n

The scientific programme of SED\u20192026 included 7 plenary, 10 invited and 13 regular oral presentations as well as 35 poster presentations. The latest scientific findings were presented in the fields of modern batteries and supercapacitors, the production, storage and conversion of hydrogen, materials for electrochemical applications, fundamental electrochemistry, corrosion and bioelectrochemistry as well as innovative solutions with potential for practical and industrial application. In a special session dedicated to the links between science and industry, company representatives presented the latest technological solutions and products tailored to the current needs of scientific and industrial practice.<\/p>\n

As in previous editions, a special place in the SED\u20192026 programme was reserved for young participants for whom a dedicated session for PhD students and early-career researchers was organised. As part of the traditional youth competition, presenters were given the opportunity to present their research findings to an international jury and to be assessed both on their scientific achievements and on their presentation skills.<\/p>\n

At the conference\u2019s closing ceremony, Assoc. Prof. Dr Vania Ilcheva, Chair of the Organising Committee, presented the awards for the best oral presentation and the best poster in the individual thematic sessions. The winners at SED\u20192026 are:<\/p>\n
