Building the future of energy storage: ARMS 5th Consortium Meeting
ARMS consortium partners at the SDU
The ARMS consortium gathered for its 5th Consortium Meeting on October 23–24, 2025, hosted across two inspiring locations in Denmark: the Faculty of Engineering (TEK) at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, and the innovation hub Innocell ApS in Svendborg.
The two-day event brought together project partners from across Europe to share progress, exchange ideas, and deepen collaboration on the ARMS initiative. The meeting opened with warm words of welcome from the hosts and project coordinator, setting the tone for a productive and collegial atmosphere. Smiles, handshakes, and fresh coffee helped kick off what would become a dynamic and fruitful gathering.
Day 1: Technical Deep Dive and Faculty of Engineering Tour
The first day in Odense was filled with presentations from each work package, highlighting the impressive progress made across the consortium as the project approached the beginning of its third year:
- WP1 (Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia) kicked off the technical sessions with a strong overview of recent developments, followed by insightful updates from WP2 (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) and WP3 (Tampere University)
- After a well-earned lunch break, the afternoon continued with engaging contributions from WP4 (Innocell ApS), WP5 (Cidetec Energy Storage), WP6 (University of Southern Denmark), and WP7 (BENEQ). Each presentation sparked lively discussions and valuable feedback from fellow partners.
