Join us in Barcelona for our Scientific Symposium on Gen3b batteries

Join us in Barcelona for our scientific symposium on Gen3b batteries

[REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED]
 
29th and 30th of November 2023
Casa Convalescència, Barcelona (in-person only)
 

We are excited to welcome researchers and industry practitioners active in the field of generation 3b (>10% silicon) lithium-ion batteries to our Scientific Symposium on Generation 3b Lithium-Ion Batteries next week!

The event has been organised in the framework of the Gen3Bat Cluster (formerly the LC-BAT-5 Cluster). 

Casa Convalescència is a historic structure situated within the renowned Hospital de Santa Creu i Sant Pau complex, which was constructed during the latter part of the 19th century with the aim of enhancing healthcare facilities in Barcelona. ​
