38th Annual EIS Short Course
A Short Course on Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy:
Theory, Applications, and Laboratory Instruction
November 2-5, 2026
Philadelphia, PA
Course Overview
Impedance Spectroscopy (IS) is an extremely powerful non-destructive investigative technique that can obtain essential information about interfacial and bulk material parameters through the use of low energy, time varying electrical excitation. When applied to an electrochemical system, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) can provide information on reaction parameters, corrosion rates, oxide characteristics and integrity, surface porosity, coating integrity, mass transport, and many other electrode/interface characteristics. EIS is one of the most powerful methods available in electrochemistry today and is utilized in research and development in essentially every technical sector, e.g., transportation and infrastructure, batteries and fuel cells, medicine, among many others. However, effective utilization of this method has been hindered by the lack of a comprehensive and cohesive explanation of the theory, measurement, and analysis techniques. This course on EIS has been developed to fill this void.
Who Should Attend?
The course is designed for scientists and engineers from industry, government, and academia who have had no prior experience with EIS. Since the range of information presented is from an introductory to advanced level, this course will also be of interest to those who already have experience with EIS and wish to learn and discuss more advanced topics. An understanding of basic chemistry and physics is requisite, and an understanding of basic electrochemistry will be beneficial.
Location
The 2026 EIS Short Course will be held at the Windsor Suites Philadelphia at 1700 Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The classroom and lab locations will be provided at check-in. This is an exceptional venue that will facilitate communication and interaction. The class size will be limited to 16, so please register as soon as possible.
4-Day Registration Deadline is October 22, 2026
There is an early bird discount of $300 for those who register before July 31, 2026.
