Add to Google Calendar

The Interagency Advanced Power Group (IAPG) Chemical Working Group and Safety Panel Meeting is scheduled for September 9–11, 2025. Due to ongoing travel restrictions, the meeting is being held virtually through Microsoft Teams.

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.
