About the meeting
Local Organising Committee
The Australian hosts and international advisers who shaped the programme and connected IMLB 2022 to the wider battery community.
The Australian host network
IMLB 2022 was delivered by a local organising committee that brought together researchers, research leaders and industry specialists from across Australia. The group worked with the executive committee and the secretariat to shape a programme that reflected both Australian strengths and the international character of IMLB.
The local committee covered materials, electrochemistry, energy systems, advanced manufacturing and research infrastructure. Its members helped connect the meeting to universities, national research organisations and companies working in the battery value chain. The committee's research institutions include the University of Wollongong.
