All events

Following the lively discussions and successful exchange on battery-related research at the first LEAPS-INNOV forum in January 2024 in Barcelona, this second event, named “Roadmap to the clean energy transition: How can LEAPS facilities support knowledge transfer”, is organized at HZB by WP9 of the LEAPS-INNOV project. This second forum focuses on developing concrete steps for drafting roadmap towards the clean energy transition. The forum will take place on the 27-29th of January 2025 in Berlin.

Key-player also is transferring knowledge achievements from academic institutions to industry and using the research results for applications to tackle societal challenges. As this process currently appears to be fragile, a session of the forum will be dedicated to industry. Within problem-oriented brainstorming sessions, industry representatives are invited to present their most demanding scientific questions, accessing the expertise of all participants and experts from related fields to develop methodologies for overcoming those challenges.

Enabling lively discussions and knowledge exchange, this forum aims to foster already established dialogues and creating new links within the battery community.

Target audience: LEAPS facility staff working with tools tackling battery research, user community representatives actively involved in developments and industry representatives

We proudly announce the next “International Winter School on Analytics for Photovoltaics and Photoelectrochemistry 2025 (Quantsol)" which will take place February 8-14, 2025 in Hirschegg, Kleinwalsertal, Austria.

Be part of this thrilling and very informative event and apply through the Quantsol winter school’s homepage, which will be open for application until Friday 13th of December 2024, 23.59h CET.

The school primarily addresses young postdocs, PhD students, and master students in their final year at university with an interest and background in photovoltaics and solar energy conversion.

Invited speakers, all recognised scientists from leading world institutions, will give lectures covering a wide range of topics on the fundamental principles of advanced characterisation techniques as well as the physical and technical challenges.

The winter school will be very interactive, and the participants and speakers are requested to present themselves in a short speaking presentation on the first day of the school.

Please note that all previous Quantsol Winter Schools have been highly overbooked and therefore we only allow applicants that have not participated before. We would also like to point out that Quantsol unfortunately is not capable of giving any financial support.

Details of the winter school and about the application can be found through Quantsol Winter school’s homepage and Quantsol Winter School 2025 Flyer.

We are very much looking forward to receiving your application and to welcoming you in Hirschegg, Austria in February 2025.
