THI is pleased to once again offer its International Lecture Series on Electromobility this year. Across seven sessions, the lecture series will provide insights into current technologies, developments, and key topics shaping the future of mobility.
This year’s lecture series covers a broad range of topics. These include hydrogen technologies, the Battery Passport, and the electrification of ships. In addition, the lectures will explore the fundamental components and architecture of electric vehicles, as well as the design and construction of battery packs. Another focus will be on the different approaches to charging and battery swapping, highlighting the respective advantages of both concepts.
The lectures will take place every Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. CET, starting on October 20, 2026, and will consist of seven sessions in total. Each presentation will last approximately 30 minutes, followed by an opportunity for questions and discussion with the speakers.
As in previous years, the lectures will be streamed live in English via Microsoft Teams. This allows students, industry professionals, and anyone interested in the future of mobility to participate regardless of their location.
We warmly invite you to join the International Lecture Series and explore current technologies and challenges in electromobility and related areas of sustainable mobility with us. Registration details and links to the individual Microsoft Teams sessions can be found in the table below.
