19th International Symposium on Polymer Electrolytes (ISPE-19)

19th International Symposium on Polymer Electrolytes (ISPE-19)

01.Jun - 05. Jun, 2026 Cód. 012-26

Descripción

ISPE-19 will take place at Donostia–San Sebastián on 1-5 June, 2026

Nowadays, there is an urgent need to find efficient and sustainable materials to produce clean energy and to store it in the near future. Polymer electrolytes are key materials in the transition to sustainable and clean energy technologies such as energy storage and conversion. The versability and unique properties of polymer materials lend them the potential to speed up the clean energy transition. This symposium seeks to provide fruitful discussions between chemists, physicists, electrochemists, engineers, etc. from around the world thanks to highlighted scientific talks of next-generation electrochemical devices based on polymer electrolytes.

We are delighted to welcome you to Donostia–San Sebastián, a pioneering city that work and support of over 50 public and private entities from strategic sectors such as biosciences, nanotechnology, energy, and ICT. Its commitment to local policies supporting innovation and scientific excellence promote knowledge exchange and collaborations. The symposium will take place at the Miramar Palace (https://www.miramar.eus/en/the-palace/). It will be five-day program including plenary talks, keynotes, invited talks, oral sessions, poster presentations, and activities specifically designed to support and connect senior and young researchers in polymer electrolyte field.

Irune Villaluenga Arranz

POLYMAT

Irune Villaluenga is an Ikerbasque Associate Professor and Ramon & Cajal Fellow at POLYMAT, University of the Basque Country in Spain. She obtained her PhD in Chemistry at the University of the Basque Country and Tecnalia Research & Innovation (2010). She did post-doctoral stays at CIC Energigune (2011-2012) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory/University of California, Berkeley (2013-2016). Her current research interests include the development and understanding of novel inorganic-polymer hybrids, bio-based polymer and nanostructured block copolymers for energy storage applications.

Didier Devaux

Since 2016, Didier Devaux is a CNRS research scientist at LEPMI lab. (Univ. Grenoble Alpes, Univ. Savoie Mont Blanc, CNRS, Grenoble INP) on electrochemical energy storage devices. He graduated in 2012 with a PhD in materials science on electrochemical and physico-chemical characterizations of polymer electrolytes for Li metal battery. He is focusing on the analysis of the functioning and failure modes of electrochemical energy storage devices by coupling techniques (in-situ and operando methodologies), notably using X-ray and Neutron techniques with electrochemistry and impedance. The objective being to tackle the phenomena at stake at the different relevant length scales typically from the local (nm) to the cell (cm) scale in devices comprising liquid, solid, and hybrid electrolytes.

Objetivos de desarrollo sostenible

Desde UIK queremos aportar a la consecución de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) 2030. Para ello, hemos identificado a qué objetivos contribuyen nuestros programas. Puedes consultar los objetivos a continuación.

La Agenda 2030 es la nueva agenda internacional de desarrollo que se aprobó en septiembre de 2015 en el seno de Naciones Unidas. Esta Agenda pretende ser un instrumento para la lucha a favor del desarrollo humano sostenible en todo el planeta, cuyos pilares fundamentales son la erradicación de la pobreza, la disminución de las vulnerabilidades y las desigualdades, y el fomento de la sostenibilidad. Es una oportunidad única para transformar el mundo antes del 2030 y garantizar los derechos humanos para todas las personas. Esta agenda marca 17 objetivos.

Objetivos de desarrollo sostenible

7 - Energía asequible y no contaminante

Garantizar el acceso a una energía asequible, fiable, sostenible y moderna para todas las personas. Cuestiones clave: acceso universal, aumento de la proporción de energías limpias, eficiencia energética, investigación, promoción de la inversión en infraestructuras energéticas y tecnologías limpias, servicios energéticos modernos y sostenibles.
