Graduate School Electrochemical Energy Storage (GS-EES)
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 GS-EES operates within the Center for Electrochemical Energy Storage | Ulm & Karlsruhe (CELEST).
Summer School 2025 - Registration open!
Register by latest 1st June 2025 for the GS-EES Summer School which is taking place from 14th to 18th July 2025 in Wildberg.
