German-Japan Joint Workshop

Within the scope of the German-Japan Joint Workshop on Advanced Secondary Battery Technologies held from 18 to 20 October, organized by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), 14 scientists attended the HIU. Stefano Passerini and his research group welcomed the group, consisting of scientists from universities and research centers from all parts of Japan as well as high-ranking NEDO officials.

The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) was established as a semi-governmental organization in 1980 to promote the development and introduction of new energy technologies. Research and development of industrial technology was later added, and today NEDO is active in a wide variety of areas as one of the largest public research and development management organizations in Japan.
