Battery 2030+ workshop on recycling March 6th 2025 – afternoon Young Scientist’s hackathon
In the frame of BATTERY2030+ activities, we are organizing a workshop on recycling within the training activities for Battery 2030.
The workshop will be exclusively online. A morning of presentations and round table discussions is planned involving academia, research centers and companies, with emphasis on projects funded under the umbrella of B2030+. In the afternoon, an online hackathon will be held for young scientists (within seven years from obtaining their Ph.D.). During this activity, participants will prepare a pitch on a predefined topic related to recycling.
Young participants in the hackathon will be contacted prior to the workshop. The registration deadline is February 26th 2025.
This workshop and hackathon is free of charge and supported by the Battery 2030+ initiative and it’s projects.
