RHODaS Webinar Series
The RHODaS Webinar Series presents four interconnected sessions exploring the latest European research on next-generation electric powertrain technologies. Hosted by the RHODaS consortium under the Horizon Europe framework and as part of the E-VOLVE Cluster, the webinar series will feature insights from the RHODaS, SCAPE, MAXIMA, and EM-TECH, projects, bringing together leading experts in power electronics, digital systems, and sustainability.
Each webinar focuses on a specific technological domain critical to the electrification of transport — from component design and thermal management to digital intelligence and circularity. Together, they illustrate how European research is transforming electric mobility through efficiency, reliability, and environmental responsibility.
Webinar 1: Design of Electric and Electronic Components for EV Powertrains
The opening session delves into the design of hybrid wide bandgap converters and modular architectures for electric vehicles. Presentations from RHODaS and SCAPE will discuss innovative SiC/GaN topologies, design challenges such as parasitic inductances and layout constraints, and scalable approaches for vehicle power conversion systems.
Webinar 2: Design and Development of EV Thermal Management Systems
This session addresses the crucial role of thermal management in ensuring performance and durability. Speakers from RHODaS, SCAPE, and HighScape will present cutting-edge cooling solutions for high-speed converters, chip-embedding technologies, and advanced thermal characterization methods.
Webinar 3: Software Design and Development of Digital Tools for EVs
Digitalization is redefining how electric vehicles are monitored and optimized. Experts from RHODaS, SCAPE, and MAXIMA will showcase digital twin technologies, fault management systems, and real-time health assessment tools for next-generation powertrains.
Webinar 4: Environmental, Criticality, and Circularity Assessment of Materials and Components for EVs
The final session explores sustainability and resource efficiency in electric powertrains. Researchers from RHODaS, EM-TECH, SCAPE, and MAXIMA will present integrated approaches to life-cycle assessment, circularity, and material criticality, highlighting pathways toward a more sustainable and resilient e-mobility value chain.
The RHODaS Webinar Series invites engineers, researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals to engage with Europe’s leading experts in electric mobility innovation. Participants will gain insights into ongoing Horizon Europe research and the future of sustainable transportation.
