“The subject of batteries is high up on the international agenda”
Top-level experts from the Universities of Stanford (USA) and Twente (Netherlands) are visiting the MEET Battery Research Centre at the University of Münster from 24 to 26 January as part of a Winter School. About a year ago, a delegation from Münster University – including Rector Prof. Johannes Wessels and Prof. Martin Winter – and one from the University of Twente travelled to Stanford University in California. In the talks they held there, one of the topics discussed was the role of battery research and energy storage as a global challenge in the energy and mobility transition. The collaboration between Münster, Twente and Stanford in battery research is to be expanded to train highly qualified battery researchers. Kathrin Kottke spoke to Martin Winter – the Director of the MEET Battery Research Centre and of the Helmholtz Institute Münster (HI MS) at the Jülich Research Centre – about the scientific importance of the visit and about the next steps being planned in the collaboration.
