The Society for Electroanalytical Chemistry (SEAC) is a scientific society based in the United States which promotes advances in both basic and applied research in electroanalysis. Founded in 1984, SEAC has members at all education levels from academia, industry, and government. It provides a platform for the exchange of ideas and recognition of achievement in the electroanalytical community. [1] [2] [3] [4]
In 1984, a group of electroanalytical chemists formalized a new organization for scientists who were interested in the theory and application of electroanalytical chemistry. The initial and primary purpose of SEAC was to select the annual recipients of the Charles N. Reilley Award in Electroanalytical Chemistry. The first award went to Allen J. Bard from University of Texas at Austin and was presented from University of Texas at Austin and was presented on Monday, March 5, 1984 in Atlantic City, New Jersey at the 1984 Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy in the “Symposium on New Techniques in Electroanalytical Chemistry”. [5] [6]
SEACommunications is an online newsletter, covering recent news for the electroanalytical research and community, member news, award information and more. [7]
SEAC offers several awards as described below. Awardee history is maintained on their website. [8]
The Charles N. Reilley Award is given in memory of one of the most distinguished analytical chemists of the 20th century, Charles N. Reilley. The award is given annually at Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy to recognize the awardee's significant contributions to electrochemistry. [9] [10] [11] [12]
The Royce W. Murray Young Investigator Award , named for electrochemist Royce W. Murray, is given annually at Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy to untenured professors who obtained their Ph.D. or other terminal degree within the last ten years prior to nomination. Candidates may be nominated by any member of SEAC. [10] [13] [14]
The Student Travel Awards are awarded to promising graduate students to offset the cost of travel to the Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy to deliver a presentation in at a conference symposium. The presentation should be on a topic related to their dissertation or thesis, and in some area or application of electroanalytical chemistry. [15]
Allen Joseph Bard is an American chemist. He is the Hackerman-Welch Regents Chair Professor and director of the Center for Electrochemistry at the University of Texas at Austin. Bard is considered a "father of modern electrochemistry" for his innovative work developing the scanning electrochemical microscope, his co-discovery of electrochemiluminescence, his key contributions to photoelectrochemistry of semiconductor electrodes, and co-authoring a seminal textbook.
The Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy, referred to as Pittcon, is a non-profit educational organization based in Pennsylvania that organizes an annual Conference and Exposition on laboratory science. It is sponsored by the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh and the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh. The Conference has traditionally been the most attended annual conference on analytical chemistry and applied spectroscopy in the world. Pittcon presents several awards each year to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the various fields in analytical chemistry.

The Williams–Wright Award is an award that honors extraordinary or outstanding work in spectroscopic measurements while working in an industrial setting. The award has been given by the Coblentz Society annually since 1978 with the Awardee being selected by a committee of leading spectroscopists. The Award citations reads, "The Coblentz Society proudly presents the Williams–Wright Award to --- for his/her outstanding contributions to the Field of Industrial Spectroscopy."
The Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS) and Exposition is an American organization that sponsors a Symposium and Exposition generally held in Princeton, New Jersey, every November. The Symposium is attended by over 2000 scientists and typically contains several hundred papers by the world's leading authorities on analytical chemistry.
