ELectroLytes and Interfaces in PoSt-Li BatteriEs (ELLIPSE Conference)

You are warmly invited to the ELLIPSE Conference to be held in Ulm.

Ulm, a charming city in the southwest of Germany, is nestled on the banks of the Danube River. With a history dating back to the 9th century, Ulm seamlessly blends medieval and modern elements, making it a unique and vibrant destination. The city is perhaps best known for the Ulm Minster, a towering Gothic cathedral boasting the world's tallest steeple, which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding region.

Strolling through Ulm's picturesque streets, one can encounter well-preserved half-timbered houses, quaint squares, and the bustling atmosphere of its marketplaces. The city also prides itself on its academic and cultural institutions, including the University of Ulm, which drives innovation and research.

A significant figure in Ulm's history is Albert Einstein, the renowned physicist, who was born here in 1879. Although Einstein's family moved to Munich when he was just a year old, Ulm honors his legacy with various memorials and an enduring sense of pride in their native son.

In Ulm, the past and present coexist harmoniously, creating a city that is as historically rich as it is forward-looking.
