Welcome

On behalf of the International Battery Association (IBA) and the Organizing Committee, we would like to cordially invite you to the IBA2022 International Conference, to be held in Bled, Slovenia, at the Rikli Balance Hotel, from October 2–7, 2022.

Due to the current pandemic situation, we are planning a hybrid event, which can be turned into a completely in-person meeting should the sanitary situation enable such an organization. Nonetheless, we would like to keep a strong IBA spirit and lively discussion between onsite attendees who will be able to travel to the lovely city of Bled and those connecting via the OnAir platform.

IBA22 is a great opportunity to learn about the progress in basic research with practical applications in the field of advanced battery materials, advanced characterization techniques for battery materials, and new systems. We expect that world-renowned representatives from academia and industry from all continents will share insights on their recent advancements and stimulate discussions on interdisciplinary battery research and development.

The program includes a plenary, keynote, and invited talks, which are invited by the IBA Advisory Committee and International Scientific Committee. Only poster presentations are generally solicited from general participants through the online abstract submission system.

I would like to cordially request your help to encourage your colleagues or team members to submit their abstracts before the deadline on June 20, 2022. Please be informed that the number of accepted posters is limited as a result of the limited number of participants (approximately 200 or 250 attendees, depending on the sanitary conditions).

I am confident that IBA 2022 will serve as one of the most rewarding and memorable meetings for all of us. On behalf of the IBA 2022 Organization Committee, I am looking forward to meeting you in Slovenia.

Sincerely yours,

Prof. Dr. Robert Dominko
IBA 2022 Conference Chair
