Together with Verena Streibel from the WSI, Barbara organized a Workshop on "Advanced Spectroscopy for Energy Storage & Conversion" on 18th and 19th January 2024. It was held in the venerable halls of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities and hosted nearly 60 researchers from Munich and all over Europe. In addition to fostering discussions amongst scientists, it also served as a kick-off event for the new NAP-XPS facility. You can find further information at the website of e-conversion.
