The Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart will host “It’s all about defects” – A Special Colloquium on Solid State Electrochemistry on 6–7 March 2026.
This two-day scientific meeting brings together some of the most influential researchers in the field to discuss the fundamental and applied role of defects in solid-state materials, batteries, ionic conductors, and electrochemical devices.
The programme features keynote contributions and invited lectures from institutions including MIT, University of Oxford, Stanford University, EPFL, RWTH Aachen, University of Cambridge, UCSB, and many more. We are also pleased that Fluxim scientist Dr. Davide Moia will be part of the programme, contributing to the discussion on advanced characterization and understanding of electrochemical materials.
With an excellent speaker lineup, in-depth insights, networking opportunities, and a dedicated social programme including a reception and conference dinner, this promises to be a highly valuable and inspiring event for the solid-state electrochemistry community.
