September 17, 24, and October 1, 8
The Interagency Advanced Power Group (IAPG) Chemical Working Group (CWG) Meeting Series is scheduled for September 17 and 24, 2021. The Safety Panel Meeting is scheduled for October 1, 2021. This year’s meeting is again being held virtually through MS Teams due to ongoing travel restrictions.
The CWG-Safety Panel Meeting series will be held in conjunction with the Federal Consortium for Advanced Batteries (FCAB) Technology Transfer Deep Dive scheduled for October 8, 2021.
Meeting Goals
The IAPG strives to share information and increase the effectiveness of interagency research and development (R&D) programs in a wide realm of advanced power technologies. The CWG meeting will provide a forum for a cross-cutting review of current government research activities across the interest of CWG members within the IAPG Member Agencies (Army, Navy, Air Force, Department of Energy, NASA, and the Department of Transportation).
The IAPG CWG Safety Panel Meeting provides a forum to exchange information related to technical and safety issues involving batteries, fuel cells, and ultracapacitors used in government-wide applications.
