International Workshop “Green materials for Batteries in Horizon 2020”

The transition to climate neutrality, including through clean and low emission mobility, will bring significant opportunities for economic growth, job creation and technological development in Europe. Demand for batteries is expected to grow very rapidly in the coming years. Forward-looking research, development and innovation policies will have a key role to enable Europe and its Member States to make the most of this transition. Therefore, the European Commission supports the development of new materials and cell production processes for batteries of the next generation to make Europe an important battery location worldwide:

This EU initiative brings new funding opportunities for European researchers specialized in battery technologies. Therefore, we would like to invite you to join our workshop, where you will have the opportunity:

• to meet with other researchers from academia and industry working on batteries;
• to hold a short presentation (pitch talk) on your institution, your research areas, the partners you are seeking and especially your project idea and the topic(s) you would like to address;
• to network with other participants, match on specific topics and initiate joint projects on the following topics related to batteries:
  • LC-BAT-8-2020: Next-generation batteries for stationary energy storage
  • LC-BAT-9-2020: Hybridisation of battery systems for stationary energy storage
  • LC-BAT-10-2020: Next generation and realisation of battery packs for BEV and PHEV
  • LC-BAT-11-2020: Reducing the cost of large batteries for waterborne transport

For further information on the specific calls, please click on the links above. The deadline for submission of proposals under the above-mentioned topics is 21 April 2020.

Our international workshop is supported by the Enterprise Europe Network, Europe’s largest advisory network for SMEs.
