About Warwick Battery Days (WBD) 2024
Warwick Chemistry and Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) are jointly hosting the very first edition of the Warwick Battery Days at the University of Warwick, Coventry, on June 20-21. WBD 2024 will bring together experts from the experimental and computational battery research community as well as the from the industry, aiming to facilitate discussions on the current state-of-the-art in the field and the future directions based on industrial and societal needs. The workshop will be held at the main campus of University of Warwick (Scarman Conferences, providing on-site accommodation), Coventry, United Kingdom.
Please note that photographs and footage will be taken throughout WBD 2024. These will be used by the University for marketing and publicity in our publications, on our website, in social media and/or in third party publications.
