The main goal of these meetings is to foster collaboration among young scientists and researchers who will be setting the agenda of scientific cooperation between Russia and Germany in the near future. Research organizations and institutions of higher education of both our countries will be presenting their funding programmes and describing the platforms that they can offer to both Russian and German PhD students and Postdoctoral researchers. The overarching principle behind these presentations is to facilitate collaboration and to establish and broaden research networks. The week will illustrate how young and experienced scientists can work across borders with local authorities, associations and industry in order to develop new approaches to global challenges. Together with experts and young scientists, we will discuss particular topics of interest for chemical energy storage and conversion. Given the growing population and rising living standards, the world is faced with an increasing demand for energy. In fact, fossil fuels are not a sustainable resource and the natural reservoirs are limited. In all future scenarios, chemical energy storage and conversion plays a vital role to satisfy the increasing demand for energy. Innovative concepts offer opportunities for new processes without increasing harmful emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). Chemical research is the key for a fundamental understanding of energy conversion and it opens the door to a broad range of future technologies. Special emphasize will be given on the challenges for improved materials and processes and their potential impact on existing and future applications and innovation. The organizers strive for a good mix of participants at different career stages and different fields of expertise that include contributions from Materials Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Process and Chemical Engineering, and Theory.
