Electrochemistry – A Science that Lives in Belgrade

Abstract

Metal candle, rusty nails, disinfectant, artificial hips and an album with signatures of world-famous scientists were just some of the exhibits at the exhibition Meet Electrochemistry Through Belgrade School of Electrochemistry, held from September 1 to September 19, 2020 at the SASA Gallery of Science and Technology in Belgrade. Although at a first glance, they have nothing in common, all of them are related to electrochemistry, a science that is one of the few for which Serbia and Belgrade are globally recognized, but about which general public knows very little. The term in the title — Belgrade School of Electrochemistry, does not mark an institution, a building or even a community. It marks the people and their knowledge, achievements and results. The School has no date of establishment nor a defined start date, and we hope it will not have an end either. It has been created as a result of efforts by several generations of scientists to accumulate knowledge and pass it onto the next generations, to contribute with their research and their results to conquering new knowledge and advancement of the entire society.
