May 20, 2021: The Consortium for Battery Innovation on May 17 said it had appointed Joana Coimbra as communications officer based in Brussels to help with the organization’s PR work, especially in Europe.

With an academic background in media studies in Portuguese and UK universities, Coimbra also has experience in the private and public sectors, says CBI.

“Lead battery-focused research remains the highest priority for CBI,” the organization said. “However, the membership recognizes that communicating the benefits of lead batteries is vital to meeting our goals.

“CBI is therefore expanding its communications activities and in this respect has recruited Joana Coimbra, based in Brussels.”
