Efficient and affordable storage of electric energy as well as a demand-meeting supply are amongst the greatest challenges we are facing with regard to an increased production of electricity based on wind and sun. Attractiveness, acceptance, and usefulness of electro mobility rely heavily on these storage possibilities – and so do grid operations which are both economical and demand-meeting. How can we manage to develop batteries which fulfill these special requirements? That is the topic of the international symposium "Next Generation Battery Materials†at the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg (HWK) in Delmenhorst (June 17 – 19, 2010).
Energy Research is the most recent of four scientific areas at the HWK in Delmenhorst; from now on the HWK will – using its Fellowship and Conferences programs – contribute to excellent research also in this field. The symposium "Next Generation Battery Materials†is the kick-off meeting for this new area. Invited lectures by excellent keynote speakers, presentations by participants, and posters will initiate intense and open discussion about the important questions described above – about the basis of better storage possibilities for electricity.
The organizers gladly announce that Doron Aurbach (Israel), Janko Jamnik (Czech Republic), Gholam-Abbas Nazri (USA), Petr Novak (Switzerland), Bruno Scrosati (Italy), Jean-Marie Tarascon (France), Josh Thomas (Sweden) and Hans-Dieter Wiemhöfer (Germany) have accepted invitations to give keynote lectures.
Working language of the symposium is English. Places are still available, and so are slots for short presentations or posters. The preliminary program and a registration form (registration at the same time to apply for a short presentation or a poster) can be downloaded here: <link>www.h-w-k.de/1604.html.
The symposium is supported by the Fraunhofer Institute IFAM (Bremen), the Energie und Halbleiterforschung at the Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg (Energy and Semiconductor Research), and the EWE-Forschungszentrum Next Energy at the Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg
