EES Academy
Electrochemical Energy Storage
Electrochemical Energy Storage Academy (EES-Academy)
By expanding the scope of the Graduate School Electrochemical Energy Storage (GS-EES) into a broader structure, the GS-EES has been transformed into the Electrochemical Energy Storage Academy (EES Academy), now addressing the needs of all early-career researchers (ECRs), from master’s students and doctoral researchers to postdocs and junior faculty, while preserving the GS-EES brand for doctoral training and keeping it open to external participants.
Implementation of the energy storage technologies of the future requires skilled scientists and engineers. The Graduate School Electrochemical Energy Storage GS-EES offers a comprehensive program of lectures, workshops and more in the field of electrochemical energy storage.
The GS-EES supports doctoral researchers doing their PhD in the field of electrochemical energy storage at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Ulm University, Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU) and Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW). It addresses the full interdisciplinary spectrum of electrochemical energy storage and conversion, from fundamental science to processing and application. Among the topics are Lithium-ion, post-lithium batteries and fuel cells.
The EES Academy operates within the Center for Electrochemical Energy Storage | Ulm & Karlsruhe (CELEST).
