The aim is to consolidate the existing ties and move forward in this discipline to promote the transference of knowledge. The agreement initiates with the participation of multidisciplinary teams from CIDETEC and the University Institute of Electrochemistry of the UA. The project will be leaded by professor Vicente Montiel, the director of such institute, and Dr. Hans-Jürgen Grande, Technology Manager at CIDETEC.

With this agreement it is also intended to enable and promote the exchange of students and researchers, the joint request and participation in research projects and programs, as well as mutual advice in matters related to this branch of knowledge.
