Prof. Helge Stein presenting to LEAPS Meets Advanced Materials for Energy Conference 2025

We are pleased to share that Prof. Helge Stein has been invited to speak at the upcoming LEAPS Meets Advanced Materials for Energy Conference 2025, taking place from 18–23 May 2025 in Sopot near Gdansk in Poland. Hosted by NCPS SOLARIS of Jagiellonian University on behalf of the LEAPS consortium, this biennial event unites Europe’s brightest minds in synchrotron science and advanced materials research. Prof. Stein will contribute a talk focused on the necessity of leveraging LEAPS beamlines and large-scale experiments for breakthroughs in battery and catalysis research, emphasizing the critical role of AI-assisted discovery and new approaches to engineering the scientific process itself. His insights aim to demonstrate how combining automation, artificial intelligence, and advanced photon science can accelerate innovation for a sustainable energy future. This prestigious conference not only connects leading European synchrotron and FEL facilities with academic and industrial partners, but also underscores Europe’s leadership in building a collaborative, high-impact research environment. As Europe continues to champion scientific excellence and sustainable technology, events like this reinforce the region’s global role in shaping the future of energy. Europe is not only a hub of scientific innovation — it is a vision of shared progress, openness, and a commitment to solving the most pressing
