Batteries Europe to drive research & innovation on batteries to the next level

We are pleased to relay that Batteries Europe initiative is now reconducted for another three years to enrich, strengthen and extend the knowledge transfer and competitiveness across the European battery value chain.

Launched in 2019, Batteries Europe platform has brought together key European stakeholders in the European batteries research and innovation (R&I) community to support EU competitiveness along the entire battery value chain.

As a next step, the initiative will further engage in its experts working groups industry stakeholders, academia, policy makers, researchers and citizens from all the value chain, especially broadening involvement on underrepresented domains and countries.

It will also contribute to gain synergies among battery R&I stakeholders’ landscape, consolidate the workflow among the initiatives, facilitate free and inclusive access to information, strength industry-research collaboration to push technology developments to reduce time to market of new solutions, reinforce European talent attraction capacity and provide fact-based orientations to policy makers.

In scope is also the gathering of expertise to develop Strategic R&I agenda, design updated roadmaps, establish KPIs per application (transport, stationary, portable, etc.) to nurture the SET Plan, contribute to standards and reporting methodologies harmonization, promote education on battery fields and rise social awareness.

The Secretariat is formed by 11 partners and 4 affiliated entities, led by EIT InnoEnergy, with ZABALA, CLERENS SINTEF, VDI/VDE INNOVATION, CICenergiGUNE INSTM (UNIMIB, UNIPV, POLITO), EERA, EASE and ENEA.
