After a one-year delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 8th Regional Symposium on 

Electrochemistry of South-East Europe was held jointly with the 9th Kurt Schwabe Symposium from 

July 11-15, 2022 at Graz University of Technology in Austria. This special edition of the jESE contains 

a collection of articles presented at this meeting. The 5-day event (including Monday’s Satellite 

Student Symposium) organized by the Association of South-East European Electrochemists (ASEEE) 

featured 5 plenaries, 15 keynotes, 71 contributed talks and 38 posters and was attended by 152 

scientists and researchers from 23 countries. The scientific program is available in the book of 

abstracts and consisted of the following sessions: 

• Batteries & Electrochemical Energy Storage 

• Electrochemical Energy Conversion & Catalysis 

• Electrochemical Processing & Engineering 

• Corrosion Science & Corrosion Protection 

• Organic Electrochemistry & Bioelectrochemistry 

• Electroanalytical Chemistry & Sensors 

• General Topics & Physical Electrochemistry 

• Kurt Schwabe Symposium 

The chairs of this symposium placed special emphasis on the participation of young scientists 

from Southeastern Europe and more than 2 years of online-only conferences, this opportunity for a 

face-to-face meeting was gladly accepted. It had already become clear during the previous events 

in this symposium series how important personal professional exchange in this region is for the 

progress of the traditionally strong electrochemistry in Southeastern Europe. Against the 

background of the current difficult situation, the participation of a researcher from the Ukraine can 

also be considered a success.

As guest editors of this special issue, we would like to thank everyone involved for their 

contributions and support. This applies in particular to the authors and reviewers of the articles, 

whose interaction is essential for the professional quality. We would be pleased, if the readers of 

the jESE enjoy the articles in this special issue and we hope, if they offer both insights and stimuli 

for discussion.
