Presenters play a central role at the Annual Meeting and Peer Review: presenting research findings, demonstrating progress, and gathering feedback from external reviewers to enhance research, help realize the program’s intended benefits, and meet program requirements.
Presentations and discussions also support cross-program awareness, alignment, and coordination to advance OE objectives.
Thank you for taking the time to showcase your research, discuss challenges and solutions, engage your peers, and help gather feedback to advance energy storage technology.
