The field of Ionics is presently very rapidly developing.  It is based on the phenomenon of fast ion transport in solids.  For an increasing number of materials, predominant ionic conductivity at ambient or elevated temperatures has been found which is comparable to that of liquid electrolytes. The ionic conductivity can be of the same order of magnitude as the electronic conductivity in semiconductors. There is a tremendous potential of important practical applications  in fields such as environmental protection, process control, energy  conversion and storage,  which  will  have  a  major  impact on renewable energy technologies.

The 11^th EuroConference on the Science and Technology of Ionics will provide a worldwide international and interdisciplinary forum for all aspects of the science and technology of Ionics. Especially materials aspects for batteries, fuel and water electrolysis cells, chemical sensors, thermoelectric converters, electrochromic systems, promoted chemical reactions and photogalvanic solar cells will be considered in 2007. The participation of young researchers entering the field as well as researchers from related fields is greatly welcome.

Special emphasis will be given as well to the most recent scientific aspects of understanding ionic transport in solids as technological opportunities and problems of the latest practical developments. Especially important are ionic-electronic interactions and phenomena at electrolyte-electrode interfaces. The simultaneous exchange of ions and electrons at these junctions offers many new opportunities beyond previous technologies. Thermodynamic and kinetic processes will be discussed, related to both fundamental understanding and applications.
