EICOON Workshop and Summer School: Nanomaterial Issues in Electrochemical Energy Conversion: Fuel Cells, Batteries, Supercapacitors

The Euro-Indo forum for nano-materials research coordination & cooperation of researchers in sustainable energy technologies (EICOON) project has addressed the nano-materials research and training needs and mutual research interests in the EU and India and communicated them to the European Commission (DG RTD) and Indian Government (DST). In addition, the EICOON project organizes events for researchers to exchange their research results and ideas. The EICOON workshop and summer school "Nanomaterial issues in electrochemical energy conversion: fuel cells, batteries and supercapacitors" organized by VTT Technical Research Centre is part of scientific seminars and thematic summer schools within the project. 100 European and Indian scientists gathered together on June 13-17, 2011 to Otaniemi, Espoo, Finland for this networking event. 30 invited oral presentations were giving by leading European and Indian nanomaterial researchers and electrochemists and 22 student posters were given in the summer school. The project and workshop funding by European Commission under the contract 233466 is gratefully acknowledged.
