Program Introduction
Battery Innovation Contest (BIC) is a battery research grant program that supports novel proposals from universities and research institutions from all over the world. Since the launch of the BIC program in 2017, LG Energy Solution has funded 4 million dollars for 26 highly innovative battery research projects. The winner of this contest will be granted up to $150,000 per year for multi-year research activities and may also have the opportunity to collaborate with LG Energy Solution researchers. We highly encourage those inspired scholars with cutting-edge ideas to apply for the BIC 2022 and to innovate the future of battery technologies with LG Energy Solution.
