Summer School
Scope & Target Group
The Summer School of the Graduate School Electrochemical Energy Storage (GS-EES) is happening yearly, mostly in July. The program features lectures by international experts on different topics related to battery research. Another focus is on scientific exchange between the participants via poster sessions and oral presentations. There are also special sessions on “Trouble and Failed Attempts” to promote learning from those experiences and to share ideas on how to solve such problems. Social activities to enhance networking are another integral part of the program - these range from hiking trips to barbecues in the evening.
You can join the GS-EES Summer School even if you are not a member of the GS-EES. The Summer School is open to all interested PhDs, master students and postdocs, no matter at which institution they are enrolled. Attendees from industry are also welcome.
The next Summer School will probably be taking place in July 2025.

What participants of the Summer School say:
"The Summer School ist the perfect time to get to know and network with like-minded, highly moticated PhD students during a good program of interesting lectures and workshops as well as stimulating evenings."
The opportunity to meet and discuss with researchers with different expertise or research area and to form meaningful personal connections which lead to collaborations are the main highlight of the Summer School. Along with this comes the chance to be away form usual lab routine and refresh ourselves at different locations like the beautiful Monabchtal.
