Gathering battery talents to promote industry innovation | LG Energy Solution's fifth undergraduate power battery innovation competition officially opens

The China University Power Battery Innovation Competition initiated by LG Energy Solution is the first student professional competition in the country focusing on the field of power batteries. After four sessions, it will start again in May. The fifth university power battery innovation competition is open to colleges and universities across the country to recruit participants and meet the challenge of elites. This professional competition in the field of power battery technology and innovation is initiated and held by LG Energy Solution and the "Knowledge and Action Plan" for college students under the guidance of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and is guided by the China Automotive Power Battery Industry Innovation Alliance and the International Automotive Engineering Science and Technology Innovation Strategy Institute under the China Society of Automotive Engineers. This competition has become one of the core professional competitions focusing on the field of battery technology that is highly valued by colleges and universities across the country.

The hot track of power batteries invites you to create

Since LG Energy Solution established this competition in 2018, it has received high attention and active participation from more than 1,000 professional college students from more than 60 universities across the country. This year, while maintaining the existing level of previous competitions, the competition will pay more attention to the excavation and training of innovative talents, increase rewards to encourage industry reserve talents to continue to explore and research in the field of power batteries, and inspire innovative minds to collide with each other to produce forward-looking solutions. The competition is divided into two rounds, the preliminary round and the semi-final, and students from top domestic universities will exchange and PK on the same stage. In terms of the setting of the competition, we will continue to practice the concept of "professionalism" and "popular science". On the basis of the personal guidance of 205 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yangtze River Scholars, and professors in the fields of electrochemistry and lithium battery industry in the past, the competition will invite more senior experts in the lithium battery industry and top professors in the field of power battery to join and give authoritative and professional guidance and comments to the participating college students. In the direction of professional innovation topic submission, the competition focuses on the industry's hot battery technology innovation and the improvement of power battery safety, and sets up innovative tracks such as lithium-ion power battery system performance improvement, new generation of new power battery system innovation, battery life cycle management, energy saving and carbon reduction technology, etc. At the same time, in order to popularize the carbon reduction advantages of new energy products to the public, the competition has set up special science awards to encourage participating students to explain power battery knowledge in an easy-to-understand manner in the form of popular science short videos, popularize related principles, build consensus among young students on carbon reduction, strengthen their belief in serving the country through scientific and technological innovation, and make new contributions to the country's zero-carbon future.

Build an innovative talent platform to jointly embark on the road of "dual carbon"

Coinciding with the once-in-a-century automotive revolution, accelerating the innovation of battery technology and creating a sustainable future have become the core elements of the future development of the power battery industry. As one of the industry's innovative thinking development platforms, the China University Power Battery Innovation Competition has always provided professional help and support for outstanding talents. During the competition, students can not only fully demonstrate their creativity and talents, but also have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with industry elites and front-line practitioners to gain valuable experience.

At the same time, driven by the country's "dual carbon" policy, LG Energy Solution is also a pioneer in actively practicing the "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality" goals, and constantly exploring the path of sustainable innovation and development in the local area. The competition aims to deepen the research cooperation among enterprises, industry organizations, and universities in the field of new energy power batteries, and effectively play the role of energy efficiency to provide a continuous source of power for the industry to achieve technological innovation and help the "dual carbon" goals. As a global leader in power battery technology, LG Energy Solution is committed to the cultivation of innovative talents, and always believes in the influence of innovative thinking on the future of the industry. It will actively promote the spirit of innovation in the competition. LG Energy Solution also hopes to gather more professional talents in the field of power battery research and development based on the competition platform, help display their talents, and jointly contribute to the development of the global new energy vehicle industry and the realization of the "dual carbon" goals.
