Science-Driven Discovery of New Materials for Energy storage and conversion: AI-Boosted Modeling, Design, and Characterization
The KNOWSKITE-X Summer School offers an in-depth training program designed to explore key aspects of materials development for energy applications.
The Summer School is specifically designed for young researchers — including PhD students, early-stage postdoctoral fellows, and advanced master’s students — who are active in the fields of materials science, energy storage technologies, and advanced manufacturing. It offers a unique opportunity to deepen scientific knowledge, engage with experts, and explore the latest advancements in these rapidly evolving domains.
Participants will engage with leading experts on topics such as multi-scale modelling, which enables the rational design of advanced materials, and machine learning, a powerful tool for accelerating material discovery and optimization. The program will also cover cutting-edge characterization techniques and data management strategies, essential for understanding material properties and performance. Finally, discussions will focus on the challenges of scaling up from powders to functional electrodes, addressing texture control, innovative shaping techniques, and market requirements for industrial applications.
This Summer School is a unique opportunity to gain knowledge at the forefront of materials science and technology.

THE VENUE
The KNOWSKITE-X Summer School attendees will have the unique opportunity to explore the Polo della Meccatronica in Rovereto, a cutting-edge hub where innovation meets industry.
This dynamic space fosters collaboration between startups, researchers, and students, blending fields like mechanics, electronics, and informatics to drive technological advancements. It also houses the ProM Facility, a state-of-the-art prototyping lab, making it a beacon of innovation in Italy. Beyond the Polo, attendees can immerse themselves in the charm of Rovereto, a city rich in history and culture nestled in the picturesque Vallagarina valley.
Known as the “City of Peace,” Rovereto boasts landmarks like the MART Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, the historic Castello di Rovereto, and the iconic Campana dei Caduti, which tolls daily as a symbol of peace.
With its blend of innovation and heritage, Rovereto offers an inspiring backdrop for the Summer School experience.
