Event Description

You’re invited to join us for an insightful event where we will share details about our collaboration with EIT InnoEnergy and Munster Technological University to deliver a series of battery storage and energy system modules, as created by industry experts. These range from Introductory level modules offering foundational foundational understanding of battery storage and electrification of energy grids without getting into the more technical aspects, to Intermediate modules which delve deeper into various battery applications such as grid storage, electric vehicles (EVs), home use, and industrial settings, as well as data and
energy analytics, to Advanced modules which provide vital technical knowledge for the battery domain, such as battery management systems, battery testing, and safety and security.

We'll delve into the Battery Technician Programme, which equips learners with the essential practical skills required to design, operate, test, maintain, and replace battery cells and packs tailored for various applications. This programmes involves a series of self-paced online modules, followed by 3 days of labs on site at MTU, running in May 2025.

Completing this programme will empower you to select the right technology for specific challenges, establish battery systems, and assess battery performance effectively.

Join us to learn more and discover how this programme can help you contribute to the clean energy transition.
