The 2026 Battery Safety Workshop (BSW), hosted by the University of Delaware, will bring together leading experts from academia, industry, and national laboratories to address the growing challenges of battery safety across the energy storage landscape. As battery technologies become increasingly vital to transportation, grid storage, and consumer electronics, this workshop will focus on advancing safe design, testing, and deployment practices. The event will feature invited talks, technical sessions, and networking opportunities covering key topics such as thermal runaway, mechanical abuse testing, predictive modeling, and regulatory developments. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, BSW 2026 aims to accelerate the development of safer, more reliable, and commercially viable battery systems for a sustainable future.
