’This format makes networking easier’

BACCARA International Graduate School hosts a Power Day / Focus on batteries. Around 120 guests from science and industry will be meeting at the BACCARA Power Day © BACCARA At the BACCARA Power Day, which takes place on Thursday September 7 at the University of Münster, around 120 guests from science and industry will be meeting to discuss about current issues in the field of battery research. The Power Day is an event organised by the BACCARA International Graduate School at the University of Münster. Simon Albers is a BACCARA doctoral candidate at the MEET Battery Research Centre and he and other BACCARA PhD students helped in organising the conference. In this interview with Christina Hoppenbrock he talks about what the programme will involve. What is this year's Power Day about? We have a wide range of talks covering all sorts of topics to do with batteries; for example, solid-state batteries and recycling, and questions relating to battery cell chemistry, as well as theoretical work being done such as modelling and simulations. We'll also be taking a look at the E-Lyte Innovations company, a spin-off from the MEET Battery Research Centre which specialises in the production of electrolytes.
