ABOUT THE ABAA

On behalf of the chairman and the local, international organizing committee, we cordially invite you to the 16th edition of the International Conference on Advanced Lithium Batteries for Automotive Applications  (ABAA-16). This edition will be held in Padova, Italy.

Starting in 2008, the ABAA conferences were conceived with the mission of enhancing global R&D of advanced lithium batteries for vehicles, accelerating the discussion and communication of R&D progress, as well as strengthening global collaboration in this field. The ABAA conference brings together high-level policy makers from the USA, China, Europe, Japan, and Korea, in addition to most car manufactures, battery industry makers, and world-renown scientists from academia and national labs.
