🤝 Cooperation is the key to innovation, productivity, and advancement: During the 6th PSIONIC Project General Assembly last week, representatives from the project's consortium convened at Uppsala University. Research findings and the project's progress were the main topics of discussion. Along with making plans for the coming months, the group looked into possible future cooperation with BATTERY 2030+ as well as looking forward to our upcoming webinar series 💻. We had the opportunity to tour the #battery lab and finished the day with a delicious dinner in the heart of Uppsala.
