Practical battery knowledge

Competently into the future with the ELLB

Why ELLB?

This is what the training program at Fraunhofer FFB stands for.

Why "European"?

We see the further training of specialists in the field of battery technology as a pan-European task.

In order to achieve economic, technological and ecological goals and strengthen Europe's competitiveness in the global market, well-trained and competent specialists are needed. Europe-wide training can promote synergies in research and development. The exchange of knowledge will also be accelerated and made more effective. Together, we are creating the basis for a sustainable future for Europe. Our bookable modules focus specifically on the European perspective. We are working on offering our modules in several languages soon in order to make our group of participants even more diverse and European.

Why "learning lab"?

With the ELLB as a learning lab, we aim to promote learning through practical experiences and experiments.

In a learning lab, participants can actively experiment with materials and technologies, thereby gaining a better understanding of complex topics and developing practical skills. The term "learning lab" should not be understood as a single laboratory room on site, but rather refers to the entire range of online and in-person training courses. You may not find Bunsen burners and pipettes in our modules, but you will find jars with active cell materials or real electrode paste. Where it is not possible to use real materials for safety reasons, we rely on creative substitutes. For example, in our learning lab, you can assemble and disassemble a 3D-printed battery cell by hand or realistically simulate and understand the individual steps of the cell manufacturing process.

Why "battery cell"?

Our training courses cover a wide range of topics across the entire battery universe, from production processes and battery systems to market trends and sustainability.

However, the focus of our curriculum is clearly on the battery cell. We are continuously developing specialized training modules that deal intensively with the battery cell, electrode and cell production and all related areas. We do not focus on topics such as vehicle integration or material production.

Subject areas

We offer further training in the battery sector for beginners and advanced users on these topics.

Basic knowledge

Cell Production

Digitized battery cell production

Battery systems

Battery cells, components and cell design

Sustainable battery cell production

Battery market

Our training courses

With our comprehensive range of 15 further training courses and customized in-house training for companies, we cover not only basic knowledge but also subjects such as the market, manufacturing processes, cells, systems, digitalization, and sustainability. The seminars have been developed to enable participants to progress from beginner level with no prior knowledge to expert level. Those who already have prior knowledge can start directly with the advanced seminars. For the best learning success, the latest research knowledge is conveyed in an informative way and brought closer to the participants through hands-on methods and an interactive learning environment. Questions and active exchange with the trainers and other participants are very welcome. This comprehensive and practice-oriented training program optimally prepares you to successfully master the challenges of modern battery technology.

Practice-oriented

Our further training cources focuses on practical, hands-on methods that directly involve the target group in the teaching process through activity-oriented approaches. This not only promotes an effective learning experience through active and exploratory learning, but also enhances the practical skills of the participants. Methods such as experiments with battery-like materials stimulate curiosity and motivation and engage all the senses in the learning process.

Interactive

We place great emphasis on interactive learning methods that include group work and discussions with other participants and trainers. These approaches not only promote collaboration, but also deepen understanding of the learning content. This strengthens the ability to recognize and apply connections, which is essential for practical learning.

High quality

Our training courses are characterized by the highest quality and professionalism. All content is continuously updated and strictly monitored to ensure it is up-to-date and relevant. The knowledge is imparted directly by the researchers as trainers. This ensures that our participants can always benefit from the latest research findings.
