Report
On October 8th and 8th, 2026, we were holding the 5th ELSCS conference in the “Haus der Begegnung” in Ulm, Germany.
Participants from 6 countries discussed the structure and the energy landscapes of ion conducting materials. Invited talks were given by (Charge traps at grain boundaries in ion conductors), (Radiation damage in battery materials), (Unified framework for ion conducting solids), (From molecular trajectories to atomistic mechanisms of ion transport), (NMR studies of structure and dynamics of solid ion conductors), (Energy landscapes in proton conducting glasses) and (Multispecies and multicomponent diffusion).
Next year we intend to organize an extended version of the ELSICS conference, likely in fall again. Stay tuned.
