The Electrochemical Society (ECS), in collaboration with the Toyota Research Institute of North America (TRINA), a division of Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc. (TEMA), is excited to announce the continued growth of the prestigious ECS Toyota Young Investigator Fellowship and opening of 2025-2026 award year submissions. For the first time, along with candidates from Canada, Mexico, and the United States, the fellowship will accept applications from Europe.
The fellowship program is a partnership between The Electrochemical Society and the Toyota Research Institute of North America (TRINA), a Toyota Motor North America (Toyota) R&D division that explores future technology.
