The tradition was started in
1967 and maintained for 24 years by Professor A.A.Vlcek, then
director of the J.Heyrovský Institute. Later on the organization
of these meetings circulates among senior scientists
(electrochemists) of the J. Heyrovský Institute under patronage
of the director of the Institute.
|
The Heyrovský Discussion took
place always in one of the conference centers of the Czech
Academy. Originally, the Discussions were held at the Liblice
castle, later in castle Bechynì and recently it has taken place
at the renaissance castle Trest in southeastern Bohemia, in an
attractive, peaceful locality rich in historical monuments and
of beautiful natural scenery.
|
The Heyrovský Discussions have
been organized during the last four decades every year by the
J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry,
Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. Each year a
different field of electrochemistry is selected as the
discussion theme. The total number of participants is limited to
about 50-60 by the capacity of the Castle.

It is hoped that continuing the
tradition of the Heyrovský Discussions will foster further
progress of electrochemical science in the spirit of creative
international cooperation.
|
This year's meeting goes
beyond electrochemistry and invites scientists working in the
field of low-dimensional materials to discuss a wider range of
fundamental aspects relevant to the research of 2D and 1D
materials at the J. Heyrovsky Institute.

The last meeting with a similar topic was organized in 2018.
