The Heyrovský Discussions have been organized during the last more than five decades every year by the J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. A different field of electrochemistry is selected as the discussion theme every year.

The special feature of this year’s meeting is to bring together organic, organometallic and coordination electrochemists and to discuss the combination of molecular electrochemistry with photoelectrochemistry and UV-vis/EPR spectrometric techniques with the stress on photo-redox catalysis, (green) electrosynthesis and the respective mechanisms.

The general philosophy of the Discussions is to bring together the experienced scientists specialized in the title field together with students and young researchers (max. cca 60 persons, according to the capacity of the Castle) and to let them to present in an informal way their most recent achievements and interpretations with a special stress on broad and friendly scientific discussion.

For this reason the time schedule is more free than that at conventional meetings allowing more space to discussion: the program without fixed time slots is divided into several sessions devoted to individual topics. Every session is opened by an introductory lecture (30 min). After that oral presentations announced in the program (15-20 min long) as well as short ad hoc contributions (5-15 min long) follow, which are accompanied by free discussion. The chairing person plays an important role here, since in the frame of a session he has to follow time and simultaneously to provoke and coordinate discussion. Posters will be exhibited during whole meeting in foyer.

In order to allow presentation of the most recent results, one-page abstracts of announced oral contributions and posters are required (in electronic form) only one month in advance (i.e. until May 15, 2026). Printed proceedings of announced papers (as well as their electronic form) will be prepared before the Discussion (with its own ISBN) and a special issue is under negotiations.
