2025 Symposium
Last year, the ECS chapter at the University of Texas Austin hosted a Texas ECS Symposium. This year, we'll be hosting at Texas A&M University!
​
The Symposium will take place Saturday September 20th. We have five esteemed guest speakers and an option for poster presentations. This Symposium will show how the state of Texas is on the forefront of electrochemical and solid-state research.
