ALBA Plus projects

The most important part of ALBA is the preparation phase during which several dozens of shopfloor researchers and senior experts jointly create the content that is going to be presented at the workshop. This coordinated content generation differentiates ALBA from traditional conferences like ELBC, ABC and AABC.
  1. The preferred way to organize content creation is: coordinated test work in company labs, using OEM input and agreed protocols (as exemplified by CR-repetitive and CR-hysteresis before and since ALBA 2025, and SSOF data generation in previous years): besides being cost-efficient, these joint efforts provide "training on the job" for battery developers and test engineers in a mature commodity industry.
  2. In some cases, all key players may agree that additional work is necessary, but no one can do it in-house - for example, complex test development or data-mining tasks. Following ALBA Paris, in an attempt to support OEMs more proactively, ALBAplus projects were funded by CBI to develop the PPC battery sizing tool (https://ppc.batteryinnovation.org) and guidelines for 12V operating strategies.
ALBAplus projects are

  • small: several weeks to few months per contract
  • strictly application-centric and OEM-guided
  • content creation for ALBA (not a new basic research program)
  • partly funded by CBI research consortium
  • partly funded by ALBA sponsors and participants

ALBA supports the industry

  • Join over 70 technology experts from all along the supply chain – from materials to vehicle.
  • Gain professional experience in an active workshop atmosphere, learning by doing.
  • Get the automotive system view: understand how your work supports new vehicle demands.
  • Use priority access to content and tools prepared exclusively for this workshop.
  • Share 92.7% participants satisfaction (“worth the time and money spent” in 2025 survey).
