Consortium

A global network for advanced battery research

LESIA brings together a diverse consortium of leading academic institutions, research centres and industrial partners from Europe and beyond. The network combines complementary expertise in surface science, laser-based manufacturing, electrochemistry, materials engineering and advanced characterisation.

No single organisation can address the complex challenges of next-generation energy storage alone. LESIA therefore adopts a collaborative model in which knowledge, methods, and perspectives are shared across disciplines, sectors, and borders.
