The IAPG Electrical Systems Working Group (ESWG) Electrical Materials (EM) Panel Virtual Meeting Fall 2025 is scheduled for Thursday, September 25, 2025. The meeting is being held virtually in Microsoft Teams.

Meeting Theme

“The Role of Materials Discovery and Development in Domestic Energy and Power Supply Chain Security.”

Meeting Goals

The IAPG strives to share information and increase effectiveness of interagency research and development (R&D) programs in a wide realm of advanced power technologies. The ESWG Electrical Materials Panel Meeting will provide a forum for a cross-cutting review of current government research activities across the interest of ESWG members within the IAPG Member Agencies (Army, Navy, Air Force, Department of Energy, NASA, and the Department of Transportation).
