Online conference - Validation of Fuel Cells, Electrolysers and Batteries 17th Symposium on Modeling and Experimental - EPFL
WELCOME

Welcome to the 3-day Symposium on Modeling and Experimental
Validation of Fuel Cells, Electrolysers and Batteries organised by EPFL Valais/Wallis,
Sion, Switzerland, the 17th of the established annual event initiated in 2004 by the
Swiss Federal Energy Office (BfE / OFEN). Due to the pandemic, the Symposium
planned originally for March 2020 had to be cancelled to become an online event
in April 2021, restarting the abstract submission process anew.

We are happy to present a programme with 90 oral contributions:
   - common purple session A with 7 invited talks
   - parallel red session B on Batteries
   - parallel blue session C on Fuel Cells and Electrolysers.
All speakers, especially the distinguished invited speakers, are most gratefully
thanked for their contributions to MODVAL17.

Special thanks are due to our EPFL IT-specialist Jean Perruchoud and the EPFL-
GEM Group administratrix Chantal Donaghey for their relentless efforts in
organising this event. On behalf of the EPFL GEM Group we wish you a successful
and enjoyable MODVAL17 Symposium.
