Jeonbuk National University (JBNU) is hosting an international workshop on liquid metal batteries, positioning itself as a global hub for research collaboration in future energy technologies.
JBNU Graduate School's Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Electrical Convergence Engineering (BK21 Project Division for the Special-purpose Future Vehicle ELITE Talent Development, led by Professor Seung-ro Lee) announced that it co-hosted the '2026 International Workshop on Liquid Metal Batteries (International Workshop on Liquid Metal Batteries)' with the Sector Coupling Human Resources Development Project Group (led by Professor Chang-woo Kang) for three days, May 4–6, 2026.
The workshop was organized to share the latest research outcomes in liquid metal battery technology and to strengthen the international collaborative research network led by JBNU.
Researchers of international renown in applied mathematics and fluid mechanics from France, Japan, the United Kingdom, and other countries participated in the event and presented a total of 12 research papers. Professor Caroline Nore of Paris-Saclay University (France) drew attention with a lecture titled "A Model for Reducing Magnetic Field Reversal Order in Sodium Experimental Simulations."
Following this, Associate Professor Harunori Yoshikawa of Doshisha University (Japan) and Professor Marie-Charlotte Renoult of INSA Rouen (France) shared research findings related to hydrodynamic instabilities and magnetofluid phenomena that are directly linked to the stability of liquid metal batteries.

JBNU also participated in scholarly exchanges by presenting results from international collaborative research. In particular, it introduced research outcomes carried out as part of the National Research Foundation of Korea's Quantum Research Exchange Support Program (France), showcasing domestic research capabilities on the international stage.
The workshop functioned beyond mere academic presentations; it served as a venue for concretizing practical follow-up research directions with overseas collaborators and for sharing research data. It also provided a valuable opportunity for JBNU graduate students to engage directly with leading researchers and to strengthen their global research capabilities.
The Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Electrical Convergence Engineering plans to expand its role as a global research hub in future energy technologies based on the strong research partnerships established with partners in France, Japan, and the United Kingdom through this workshop.
