Welcome to the Doctoral student network digital lunch seminar, 12:00-12:30, 2 December 2020.
Kristina Edström, Uppsala university

”Batteries is a key technology for electrification and mobility”

Battery technology is today high on the European agenda. There are a number of different battery initiatives aiming to support the transition of the transport sector to become fossil-free. What batteries are we targeting? What challenges do we need to address to accelerating the finding of new battery chemistries and battery systems? Swedish Electromobility Center and the Competence Center Battery Sweden are complementary actions with strong mutual collaboration that have the ambition to address these questions. How and what will be discussed in the presentation.
