More than 750 participants expected at symposium “Kraftwerk Batterie” in Münster
Researchers of the University of Münster will be hosting a symposium on “Advanced Battery Power” at the Messe und Congress Centrum Halle Münsterland from March 24th to 25th, 2020. The MEET Battery Research Center of the University of Münster will stage the international event in cooperation with Haus der Technik (Essen), the Helmholtz Institute Münster (Forschungszentrum Jülich) and the Institute for Power Electronics and Electric Drives (ISEA) of the RWTH Aachen University. The conference is open to all participants interested in the research, development and application of batteries.
- Top-Keynote-Speaker, such as Prof. Jeff Dahn, Dalhousie University, Prof. Jean-Marie Tarascon, Collège de France, Dr. Khalil Amine, Argonne National Laboratory, Prof. Dr. Jens Tübke, product area director “Applied Electrochemistry” at the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology ICT, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. h.c. Bernd Friedrich, IME Process Metallurgy and Metal Recycling RWTH Aachen University, Dr. Iwao Soga, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation and Robert Stanek, P3-Group
- First-class program: 100 speakers and 200 poster presentations
- Strong network: 750 expected guests
More than 750 guests from all over the world are expected to attend the English-language conference. There they will have the opportunity to learn first-hand about the latest advances in battery research and application. Some of the brightest minds in the field will provide insights on energy storage solutions and discuss fields of application, innovative materials and new battery systems. Münster and Aachen have taken turns hosting the conference since 2009.
In his keynote speech Prof. Dr. Jens Tübke, product area director “Applied Electrochemistry” at the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology ICT will provide insights into the development of a forward-thinking infrastructure for the FFB.
The conference program includes more than 60 lectures and 200 poster presentations by scientists of chemistry, physics, engineering and other disciplines. Thereby, innovation in established technologies are examined as well as findings about new generation batteries, for example non-flammable liquid and solid electrolytes. They find use in different applications.
“Due to the upcoming FFB there will be a special focus on the subject transfer. We highly benefit from the exchange between university and extramural research today and in future.” says Prof. Dr. Martin Winter (MEET Battery Research Center and Helmholtz-Institute Münster). Prof. Winter is jointly responsible for directing the “Advanced Battery Power Conference” together with Prof. Dr. Dirk Uwe Sauer (ISEA) and a 30-member scientific advisory council.
Prior to the conference on March 23rd, the “Battery Day NRW” event will be staged at the Messe- und Congress-Centrum Halle Münsterland. “Battery Day NRW” is organised by Haus der Technik in cooperation with the research clusters EnergieForschung.NRW, EnergieRegion.NRW and NanoMikroWerkstoffe.NRW.
