What the 2022 programme set out to do
A programme designed to connect materials, characterisation, cells and the industries that use them.
The 2022 programme was designed to give the battery community several ways to take part. Plenary addresses would open the meeting, invited sessions would carry the specialist programme, and posters would give researchers a place to present focused work.
The committee also planned a first for IMLB: invited poster presenters would receive a short oral presentation alongside their poster. The format was intended to help early career researchers and established teams introduce a specific result to a larger audience.
From materials to systems
The programme was not limited to one part of the battery. It moved from electrode and electrolyte chemistry to characterisation, cell performance and the systems where batteries do their work. Industry translation and Australia's minerals strengths were part of the same conversation.
What the committee wanted
The aim was a meeting where a materials scientist, a cell engineer and a company researcher could find a shared language. The poster programme and the social programme were as important as the formal sessions in making that happen.
