Workshop 25.-29. september: Battery Technology

Why batteries?
Lithium-ion batteries are key enablers for the
green shift, allowing the storage of energy from
renewable sources like wind or photovoltaics for
later use. The industry in Sørlandet is orienting
towards battery manufacturing, covering a broad
range of the battery value chain from material and
battery production to system design and recycling.
It is a unique opportunity to utilize Norway’s
hydropower to establish the most sustainable
battery value chain worldwide.

About the course
In this one week course you will learn how lithiumion batteries are working and what their main
components are. Laboratory insights will allow you
to learn how to build your own battery, analyze
its performance and how batteries are handled
safely in laboratory and application. The course
will conclude with outlooks on a sustainable
battery value chain and ethical aspects of battery
production.

Who can participate?
This course is open for all interested, and most
relevant for professionals working in the industy
or looking to re-orientate towards battery. We will
start from basics and dive into the details over the
course of the course. A technical background will
be advantageous.
