Advanced Battery Manufacturing Workshop Success
Last week the much-anticipated Advanced Battery Manufacturing Workshop took place in the beautiful grounds of Homerton College, Cambridge, UK.
This collaborative meeting, hosted by the BatCAT, BATTwin and AM4BAT projects, bought together over 160 delegates to hear 30 speakers showcasing their latest breakthroughs in data systems and digital twins, solid-state lithium-ion batteries, advanced battery manufacturing and innovative cell assembly techniques.
It was a great event and, we hope, a number of new collaborations have been forged as a result. We could not have hosted such a great event without all of our speakers. Our thanks go to:
