Thank you for your interest in ELMO-LION!
ELMO-LION is a new European battery technology and innovation 6 ETCS Credit PhD course and a summer school which is funded by EIT RawMaterials for period 1 September 2022 – 31 December 2025.
The ELMO-LION course web page is available at www.elmo-lion.com.
Objective: to train the next generation of scientists and engineers in the interdisciplinary and rapidly accelerating field of Li-ion batteries
In ELMO-LION there are three main pillars:
• Online lectures offered by experts on battery fabrication, characterization, spectroscopy, simulations, advanced diagnostics, and market (will be available in March 2023)
• Working cases and challenges from industrial partners to be solved by PhD student teams
• A venture‐creation summer school (2023: Politechnico di Milano – Lake Como) where students can prepare their projects related to industrial challenges and have personal communication with experts from academy and industry
Website: www.elmo-lion.com
Fee: for 2023 course is free of charge and includes access to online lectures, supervising of project work, summer school accommodation (except travel to lake Como). The course is available for the doctoral students. The application deadline is 30 January 2023. The online lectures, practical exercises and industrial working cases will be available from March 2023. Forty Selected students will participate in the weeklong (five days) Summer School where project work results will be presented, and venture-creation opportunities will be provided.
