Information
The program brings together researchers across materials science, chemistry and physics to explore novel strategies for designing next-generation energy storage materials. Focusing on solid–state batteries, the symposium emphasizes how computational modeling, machine learning, materials synthesis, and experimental planning can be combined to accelerate materials discovery and optimization. Over three days of invited talks, workshops, and open discussions, participants will exchange ideas on tailoring material properties for specific applications and addressing key challenges in ionic transport and stability. Designed as an open and collaborative platform, the symposium aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, strengthen international research networks, and provide young researchers with opportunities to engage directly with cutting–edge approaches in energy storage science.
