It is our pleasure to invite you to Berlin for the 7th International Sodium Battery Symposium, SBS-7.

In recent years, we have witnessed rapidly growing global interest in sodium batteries, driven by their increasing adoption in electric vehicles, power tools, and stationary energy storage systems.

It is therefore our great pleasure to invite you to Berlin for the 7th International Sodium Battery Symposium (SBS-7). Alternating biennially with our colleagues from IKTS in Dresden, the Sodium Battery Symposium has become a key meeting point for researchers and industry leaders in this field.

International conference dedicated to revealing dynamic functional interfaces through operando and in situ characterization. Bringing together leading researchers advancing interface science through experiment, theory, and materials design, ONI provides a unique forum to advance atomic- and molecular-scale understanding of dynamic interfaces in catalysis, electrochemistry, batteries, and energy materials.

The scientific program features keynote lectures, invited and contributed talks, poster sessions, and a roundtable discussion moderated by Nature Catalysis, where leading researchers will discuss emerging scientific challenges and future directions in operando nanoscale science. Complementing the scientific program, a second high-level roundtable discussion will bring together representatives from academia, industry, and public policy to explore how science and innovation can accelerate the global energy transition. 

With the series of annual user meetings, we bring together our user community to intensify scientific exchange and stimulating new collaborations. The meetings will provide an overview of the many exciting and inspiring research results obtained at our facility in the past year and will emphasize on future developments in particular on BESSY III. Plenary talks, discussions, a public lecture, the market place of innovation and a poster session will provide vast possibilities of information and discussion. The bestowals of the 'Prizes for Young Scientists' donated by the Freundeskreis Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin e.V. (FHZB) are traditional highlights of the user meetings.
