Next Generation Electrochemistry (NGenE) will be held June 26–30, 2017, in Illinois, USA. The 2017 program will explore the theme: “Phenomena at Electrochemical Interfaces” and will consist of a combination of lectures and discussions, research project planning and mentoring, and demonstrations. The participants will consist of 25 advanced graduate students and 10 distinguished lecturers.

Faculty will present a series of critical questions, while motivating their importance through past experiences and future societal needs. They will also highlight the need for an accurate definition of chemical components at heterogeneous interfaces, down to the atomic level and under operating conditions. Emerging techniques to probe and model interfacial phenomena will be presented and discussed. The students will assemble into teams charged with one of the challenges and will develop a scientific program to solve the challenge using innovative experiments and theory.
