Plenary

Moderator: Marta C. Figueiredo

Panel members:

  • Mark Boneschanscher 
  • Ewout Lubberman 
  • Sandra de Keijzer 

Electrochemistry is seen as a key enabler of the energy transition, environmental sustainability, and circular economies. However, there are several hurdles to realizing these potentials of electrochemistry. The panel discussion will focus on “advancing the technological readiness levels of electrochemical technologies in the Netherlands”. With Mark Boneschanscher (TUE), Sandra de Keijzer (NWO), and Ewout Lubberman (Leydenjar), we will discuss the latest developments, opportunities, and challenges facing electrochemistry in the Netherlands. This will cover aspects such as education and training, funding, policy developments, and industrial applications and electrification. We will examine the development of relevant Dutch startups in electrochemical technology and the challenges of product commercialization, especially amid the strict global competition in this field.
