The Science and Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC) Hartree Centre and the Faraday Institution have signed a joint statement of endeavour to accelerate battery innovation in the UK.
The collaboration brings together the Faraday Institution’s battery research with the Hartree Centre’s high-performance computing and digital innovation.
The two organisations are exploring joint activities, which could include the development of advanced battery modelling and simulation techniques with embedded AI capabilities.
Reportedly, this seeks to combine the UK excellence in the two fields to maximise industry growth and impact, and help meet net zero goals.
Director of the STFC Hartree Centre, Dr Kate Royse, said: “I’m excited to be working with the Faraday Institution to accelerate battery innovation in the UK.
“By combining the Hartree Centre’s leading expertise in AI and high-performance computing with the Faraday Institution’s world-class research in battery technology, we can help industry and scientists develop new solutions faster and more efficiently.
“Together, we’re building vital digital skills, strengthening the UK’s position as a global leader in battery innovation, and supporting the nation’s economic growth and net zero goals.”
