Sydney, Australia – Electrochemistry for the New World

You are warmly invited to the 77th Annual Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry which will be held in Sydney, Australia from 6 to 11 September 2026.

Sydney is a vibrant multicultural city with extraordinary natural beauty with its deep water harbour set within a yellow sandstone basin, historic convict precincts, skyscapers designed by world renowned architects and stunning beaches with the weather to match. All this is closely integrated with the city centre where the meeting will be held. The meeting venue is the brand new International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) situated on the water at the Darling Harbour restaurant precinct where Wildlife Zoo Sydney and the Sydney Aquarium are also located. Just a short walk or ferry ride away is the iconic Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Slightly further afield is the Botanic Gardens, harbour and ocean beaches, and national parks within the city including the hikers heaven of the Blue Mountains and Royal National Park (the world’s second National park). A little over an hours flight are other major cities including Melbourne and Adelaide – where satellite meetings are planned – and the Tasmanian World Heritage wilderness.

Sydney is a technology leader, being the 7th top digital city in the world, the home of major technology based companies such as the hearing implant pioneer Cochlear and the sleep company ResMed. Sydney also has the top ranked start-up ecosystem in the southern hemisphere. The conference is held within 6 km from three of the world’s top ranked universities with world leading programs in solar cell technology, quantum computing and medical technologies to ensure the local scientific community is keen to engage with our ISE visitors. We welcome to Sydney in 2026!
