Our goal is to present local schools, i.e. people, their research directions, and research traditions specific for certain regions. Of course people often moved from place to place, but we try to assign them to local schools to which they belonged most appropriately.
Eastern Europe
“Triple-E” special Issue of the Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry (Electrochemistry in Eastern Europe, 27 (2023) N7, coedited with Laszlo Peter) gave rise to corresponding Collection. Historical part of this issue inherits “Electrochemistry in the Divided World” book, and contains the articles concerning electrochemistry in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Marija Mitrović), Bulgaria (Vessela Tsakova), Estonia (Enn Lust and coauthors), Georgia (charge transfer research, Dimitri E. Khoshtariya and coauthors, and manganese electrochemistry, Nikoloz Nioradze), Latvia (Jānis Kleperis, Gunārs Bajārs and coauthors), Moldova (Alexandr Dikusar and coauthors), Poland (Krakowian branch, Katarzyna Skibińska and Piotr Żabiński), Serbia (Nevenka R. Elezovic).
Bulgaria
“The Bulgarian physicochemical tradition and the Institute of Physical Chemistry ‘Academician Rostislaw Kaischew’” (Chemistry: Bulgarian Journal of Science Education. 2016. V. 25. P. 35-67), in Bulgarian, authored by Vessela Tsakova. There is a list of important articles and monographs, as well as information about some legendary members of Bulgarian electrocrystallization school, with a number of photos.
Czech Republic
“Natives of the Russian Empire in the laboratory of Jaroslav Heyrovský” (ChemTexts. 2022. V. 8. No 21), authored by Vitalii Yu. Kotov et al. Contains rare information from archives.

Latin America
History of Electrochemistry in Mexico (Electrochemistry, Past and Present, ACS Symp. Ser. 390. 1989. Chapter 35. P. 525-533), authored by Silvia Tejada; really electrochemical history starts from 1920s, but the author’s description of some preceding events related to metallurgy is also of interest
