Digital Workshop "Materials for Energy"

25th. Feb. 2021, digital workshop, online via Zoom

Time:
Start: 25th. Feb. 2021. 12:00 p.m.
End: 26th. Feb. 2021. 02:00 p.m.

Abstract:

Providing our world with more efficient and sustainable energy poses one of the greatest challenges of our times. Novel materials play a key role for enabling new energy technologies. The fast and efficient discovery and development of novel materials therefore are critical for sustainable future energy.

The workshop will provide impetus for the MCIC 2021 conference, which will take place in November 2021.
