For more information, please see http://www.stfc.ac.uk/3487.aspx

Please note that these are run as three stand-alone courses, and it is no prerequisite to attend all three. Sponsored places are offered to one of the three weeks, and applicants should indicate which course they wish to attend.

To apply please email Dr Denis Kramer by 7th April: [email protected] with a paragraph on how attending either of the workshops will help you advancing your research within the remit of the STFC Challenge network (i.e., batteries, fuel cells and other electrochemical energy devices).
