ELBC 2026: CALL FOR PAPERS, EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION, AND INTERNATIONAL LEAD AWARD

ELBC 2026 (European Lead Battery Conference) is already generating momentum in the global battery and lead sector with the release of the event’s key dates and official updates. With an open call for academic papers, an international award, and strong demand for exhibition space, the 2026 edition is expected to bring together companies, researchers, and strategic industry leaders.

Among the first confirmed deadlines is the closing date for the Call for Papers as well as Student Submissions, set for February 19. Researchers and students interested in presenting studies, projects, and technological advances must submit their abstracts before the deadline. The organization emphasizes that submissions must be made directly through the official submission platform.

Another update is the opening of nominations for the International Lead Award, which recognizes outstanding figures in the global lead value chain. Nominations will remain open until the end of March, and ELBC invites the industry to nominate leaders with relevant contributions in areas such as industry, research, sustainability, or innovation. Nominations must be submitted via email through the official channel provided by the organization.

The organization confirmed that registration for ELBC 2026 will open in late February, including the release of Early Bird promotional rates. The recommendation is that professionals and companies register as soon as the system opens, both to secure better pricing and to ensure participation in an edition that is already showing strong demand.

One of the most notable highlights is the exhibitors’ area. According to the announcement, ELBC 2026 stands are being reserved quickly, with more than 100 companies already signed up. The organization notes that companies interested in presenting products, technologies, and solutions to the international audience should reserve their space as soon as possible to avoid lack of availability.
