Based on an empirical study\, This presentation will argue that on the left\, antisemitism is an “invisible prejudice”: It is often not acknowledged and is sometimes expressed in coded forms. The reasons can be found both in theoretical and historical traditions as well as in current socio-political conditions. \n\n\n\nDr. Sina Arnold is a senior lecturer and researcher at the Center for Research on Antisemitism and the Research Institute Social Cohesion at Technische Universität Berlin\, Germany.

He is the inventor and developer of the Solid-Electrolyte-Interphase (SEI) model for nonaqueous alkali-metal batteries. He pioneered the development of several electrochemical systems including: lithium/sulfur battery\, nanoporous proton-conducting membrane\, a direct methanol fuel cell\, a hydrogen tribromide regenerative fuel cell and developed low-cost core-shell nanosize platinum-based catalysts. He supervised more than 70 graduate and post-doctoral students. Emanuel Peled was a co-founder of three energy-related startup companies. He has been awarded Electrochemical Society Battery Division Research\, the Landau Research\, the International Battery Associations (IBA)\, the Israel Chemical Society Outstanding Scientist Awards and the Award of Commander of MAFAT (Israel MOD)\, and the Samson-Prime Ministry Prize for Innovation in Alternative Fuels and Smart Mobility . He was elected Fellow of the Electrochemical Society and of the International Society of Electrochemistry. \n\n\n\nElectrical-energy storage is becoming an important element of the electricity infrastructure of the future\, especially for wind and solar farms. Energy-storage technologies available for large-scale applications are divided into five categories: mechanical\, thermal\, electrical\, chemical\, and electrochemical. In Israel\, the existing energy storage is dominated by pumped hydroelectric systems located in: Gilboa\, Cochav Hayarden and Zuk Manara. In 2050\, Israel will need 150 – 250 GWh storage (today only 0.3GWh)\, requiring over 1000 tons of lithium-ion batteries. The cost of high energy storage follows the order: compressed air
