On June 27, 2022, the two sister projects COMPBAT and SONAR hosted a joint workshop on Modeling and Simulation in Brussels as part of the annual International Flow Battery Forum (IFBF). COMPBAT and SONAR are developing, within the framework of Horizon2020 funded EU projects, high-throughput screening methods for the efficient search of new active materials for future organic redox flow batteries.

The 31st Topical Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry was held in Aachen, Germany from May 15 – 19, 2022. Among the participants and as presenters were Dr. Astrid Maaß from the Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing (Fraunhofer SCAI) and AA/Prof. Dr. Jens Noack (Fraunhofer ICT / University of New South Wales), project coordinator of SONAR. Astrid presented results from High-Throughput Screening to find new organic active materials for redox flow batteries during a talk and Jens gave an overview talk on the results achieved so far in SONAR.

The International Society of Electrochemistry is one of the two leading electrochemical societies worldwide and organizes different conferences in the field of electrochemistry every year. The 31st ISE Topical Meeting was attended by over 150 participants from a variety of different countries around the world.

The 32^nd Topical Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) with the topic “Experimental and Modelling Tools for Electrochemical Energy Devices” took place in Stockholm, Sweden from June 20-22, 2022. Among the participants and as an invited speaker was also AA/Prof. Dr. Jens Noack (Fraunhofer ICT / University of New South Wales), project coordinator of SONAR with a presentation of the results achieved so far in the project.

On June 15, 2022, the 6th General Assembly of SONAR was held in Amiens, France at the Laboratoire de Réactivité et Chimie des Solides (LRCS). The special thing about this meeting this time was that the participants had decided to hold a physical meeting, whereby it was only the first General Assembly at all after the Kick-Off Meeting 2020 in person.

During the one-day meeting, the results of the individual work packages were presented, as well as the way forward in SONAR was discussed. Furthermore, the participants had the opportunity to visit the premises of the LRCS.

During March 14-16, 2022, the 18th Symposium on Modeling and Experimental Validation of Electrochemical Energy Technologies (ModVal) was held in Schloss Hohenkammer, Germany. Among the participants and as speakers were Dr. Roman Schärer from the University of Applied Sciences Zurich and AA/Prof. Dr. Jens Noack (Fraunhofer ICT / University New South Wales), project coordinator of SONAR. Roman was present with a poster on the results obtained in SONAR in the field of 0D modeling of redox flow batteries and Jens gave an overview talk on the results obtained so far in SONAR.
