Company History
Born as the American Electrochemical Society in 1902, the Society’s name was changed to The Electrochemical Society in 1930 to more accurately reflect its international activities and membership. ECS has grown and continued to respond to the changing technical needs and interests of its members; and in 2000, adopted the official acronym of ECS, to encompass long tradition of advancing the theory and practice of both solid-state and electrochemical science and technology. ECS continues to disseminate information through individual membership, corporate membership, student services, technical journals, a quarterly news magazine, books, technical meetings, awards; and to provide networking contacts through ECS’s Divisions and Sections.
