On November 29th, 2016, the 2nd Symposium by the Munich Student Chapter of the Electrochemical Society (ECS) took place in the Faculty Club of the TUM Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Garching. The central organization of the symposium was conducted by Rui Fang, who has been vice president of the student chapter since its foundation in September 2015. The student chapter currently consists of around 35 members, mainly Ph.D. students from the TUM Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Chemistry, and Mechanical Engineering. Several kinds of public events are offered on a regular basis, including journal clubs, workshops, social events, and professional symposia with well-known guest speakers. After the first symposium in February 2016 with a focus on experimental methods for electrochemical systems, this time mathematical modeling and computational simulation of lithium-ion batteries was prioritized. In total, more than 50 researchers from 14 different research groups at the TUM and from industry attended the symposium. Rui Fang invited Professor Wolfgang Bessler from the Offenburg University of Applied Sciences and Professor Arnulf Latz from the Helmholtz Institute Ulm as keynote speakers and arranged a series of additional presentations by student chapter members and other researchers. Apart from that, the agenda also included several extensive coffee and lunch breaks combined with poster sessions, again with contributions from various groups. The participants took advantage of these breaks to engage in scientific discussions and networking. The symposium was free of charge for all attendees and primarily funded by the TUM Graduate School.
