ARISE successfully hosted the online webinar “Synergizing EV Technologies: Engineering Efficiency, Intelligence, and Sustainability” on Thursday, 26 February 2026, bringing together more than 30 leading experts, researchers, and industry stakeholders. The event served as a dedicated platform to exchange insights on the latest advancements in electric vehicle battery systems and intelligent energy solutions.

The webinar highlighted major project milestones in solid‑state battery development and system‑level integration, while also introducing the COLLABAT Cluster, an EU‑supported collaborative initiative focused on advancing battery standards and accelerating sustainable electrification across Europe. This session provided valuable context on how coordinated research and innovation efforts can drive impact at both technological and ecosystem levels.

The event was officially opened by Dr. Omid Moradi, Coordinator of the ARISE project, who presented an overview of the project’s achievements to date and its future roadmap. Throughout the webinar, participants engaged with presentations from distinguished speakers covering a range of key topics, including scalable wireless battery management systems, intelligent state estimation and risk‑aware decision‑making in energy systems, smart glass integration for energy optimization, advanced material pathways for next‑generation electrodes, thermal management strategies for high‑performance EV battery packs, and the application of digital twins in battery lifecycle intelligence.

The webinar concluded with closing remarks by Dr. Moradi, underlining the importance of collaborative innovation in strengthening Europe’s leadership in next‑generation electric vehicle technologies and sustainable mobility solutions.
