Program Theme
The Program focuses on novel, interdisciplinary approaches to the design of energy storage materials, with particular emphasis on solid electrolytes for all–solid–state batteries. By integrating computational modeling, data–driven methods, and experimental strategies, the program aims to advance the understanding and control of defects, disorder, and ionic transport in functional materials. Through series of keynote lectures and international symposium, the forum creates a platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and training of young researchers at the interface of theory, computation, and materials synthesis.
