International summer school on materials for energy storage and conversion(mESC-IS School 2021) is an integral part of the symposium held with the same name ( International Symposium on Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion, mESC-IS 2021). The summer school, will take place 10-13 September 2021 preceding the symposium. The school will take place both in virtual and face-to-face modes at Mugla Sıtkı Koçman University .
The school follows the structure of the earlier schools (mESC-School 2015 , mESC-School 2017, and mESC-School 2019 ) and aims to bring new comers/early researchers with those experienced in the field. The school covers the state-of-the-art reviews in selected topics plus in depth coverage of materials and electrochemical characterization techniques.
Some of the topics to be covered in the school is listed below. Topics to be covered are currently being re-shaped. Additional names and topics to be added soon.
