| Description | This Special Issue of Chemical Monthly is dedicated to contributions presented at the 15th Workshop of Physical Chemists and Electrochemists (WOPCE) which took place in Brno, Czech Republic, in May 2015. This two-day conference has been organized since 2000, and the last 3 years of the WOPCE were held in the new campus of Masaryk University. All participants presented the latest research in an inspiring lecture session or in the traditionally highly stimulating poster session. The konference scope changes slightly throughout the years, but physical chemistry together with electrochemistry always remains as the main WOPCE topic. The aim of this meeting is to show students and young researchers that physical chemistry is broadly defined and of fundamental importance for the development of interdisciplinary areas that link synthetic, structural, biological, materials and theoretical chemistry together. As the organizers of this meeting, we want to underline the fact that the development of science contributes to intensified interdisciplinary collaboration, thus closely linking scientific research in the fields of both life and materials science. An integral part of the WOPCE is the Young Researchers’ Section which gives the opportunity not only to present and discuss results, but also to compete for the best and most interesting presentation. |
