Sustainable and Competitive Cell Production Techniques for Lithium-ion And Sodium-ion Batteries (BATT4EU Partnership)
Proposals are expected to contribute to all following points: Significantly enhanced competitiveness, resilience, and sustainability of the European battery cell manufacturing industry, achieving measurable reductions in capital expenditure (CAPEX), operational expenditure (OPEX), energy consumption, and environmental footprint compared to state-of-the-art processes. Demonstrated advanced manufacturing processes and…
Funding and competition
- 2grants expected (official)
- €18.9MEU contribution per project
- €6.4Mmedian EU grant of the most similar funded projects
- 149projects funded in earlier topics of this programme line
Very few grants: expect strong competition. Only proposals well above threshold are funded, so a clearly differentiated idea and a complete consortium are essential.
Success rates vary widely between topics (often from below 5% to above 30%). Ask us for the success-rate history of this topic before you commit to a proposal.
