As a co-programmed partnership, BATT4EU brings together the public sector (the European Commission) and the private sector (the European battery R&I stakeholders, BEPA) with the aim to achieve a competitive and sustainable European industrial value-chain for e-mobility and stationary applications.
BEPA already gathers a total of 137 members of which 54 are industrial players, 56 research organisations, 27 associations, and others.
Aside from some general objectives, the Batteries Partnership (BATT4EU) has various measurable, operational objectives:
Operational objectives:
Various BATT4EU labeled research topics in Horizon Europe aim to contribute to achieving these operational objectives. You can find these call topics in the regular Horizon Europe cluster 5 work programme, e.g.:
HORIZON-CL5-2024-D2-01-02: Non-Li Sustainable Batteries with European Supply Chains for Stationary Storage (Batt4EU Partnership).
The prioritization and drafting of future Horizon Europe call topics on batteries are restricted to members of BEPA.
Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.
The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
