Functional Materials for Mobility – POSTPONED

Due to insufficient contributions from speakers, the event is not going to run on the dates of 28-29 June 2023, and will probably be postponed to early 2024. Stay tuned for more information and for a new Call for Speakers.

The seminar 2023 on Functional Materials is dedicated to a wide application sector, that is mobility. When considering cars, trains, airplanes, ships, and all personal smaller transportation vehicles, like scooters, and especially in the electrification trend, a new generation of materials are growing in use. These functional materials are very often produced by powder metallurgy: magnets (hard and soft, and composites) for engines and other motors, catalysers, high temperature alloys, heat exchanger/storage/management materials, thermoelectrics, energy storage (including hydrogen and solid-state batteries) materials, electrical materials, and many others.

The event is hosted in the headquarters of one of the most important research centres in Europe, CEIT, in San Sebastián, Spain, and will include a visit to the relevant labs.
Participation is warmly advised for all researchers and engineers dealing with development, production and use of these powder-based materials.
