The objective of the EPOC school is to give exhaustive trainings on the electrochemical promotion of catalysis, from fundamental to practical aspects. EPOC will explore the elaboration and characterisation of electrochemical catalysts and will be focused on all important domains of the EPOC concept: physicochemical origins, permanent- EPOC, EPOC reactors and the links with real catalytic systems. A special attention will be devoted to environmental applications. This school is particularly adapted for PhD students who had initial training in catalysis or solid state electrochemistry and who start a research activity in the field of the electrochemical promotion of catalysis.
