About PTASE – SPASE 2026

The Paulo Teng An Sumodjo School of Electrochemistry (PTASE), hosted annually at IQUSP, is pleased to announce its upcoming 20th Anniversary celebration and its new status as a FAPESP Advanced School. As part of this upgraded format, the school will extend its activities to 10 full days, offering an enriched and immersive educational experience. Designed for graduate students and young PhDs, this prestigious event provides a unique platform for advanced knowledge exchange, scientific discussion, and professional development in electrochemistry.

In alignment with the FAPESP Advanced School framework, the 2025 edition will welcome not only Brazilian students and professors but also international participants, creating a vibrant environment for global scientific interaction. To ensure optimal access to specialized equipment and promote hands-on learning in small groups, participation will remain limited to a maximum of 80 attendees (40 Brazilian and 40 from abroad).

The school will continue its tradition of supporting participants from outside São Paulo City and from academic institutions across Brazil and abroad. Selected candidates will receive financial assistance, including accommodation, meals during the event, and transportation to São Paulo.

All successful applicants will be notified by email in June 2026. The 20th PTASE – FAPESP São Paulo Advanced School on Electrochemistry (SPASE) will take place from 2nd to 11th December 2026, featuring an intensive program of high-level lectures, laboratory sessions, round-table discussions, and networking opportunities.

We warmly invite interested candidates to submit their applications and join us in celebrating this remarkable milestone while expanding their scientific horizons in the compelling field of electrochemistry.
