Summary
In order to succeed in the development of a thriving innovative battery industry, pan-European cooperation on research and innovation is essential. It is essential to work across geographical boarders and institutional levels but it is also crucial that stakeholders from all parts of the battery value chain pull together in a strategic coordinated manner to ensure our collective research efforts are efficiently translated into sustainable technologies and products economically, environmentally and socially.
Τhere is a need to continuously consolidate the Battery R&I community across the EU and associated countries
and across Battery-related networks, projects and initiatives.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals are expected to:
- Develop, consolidate and communicate a strategic research approach for all stakeholders throughout the entire European Battery Value Chain.
- Develop and/or update coherent Strategic Research and Innovation agenda (SRIA) covering all aspects of the battery value chain through expert group work.
- Facilitate and support work of experts from a different field in a cross-collaboration manner, identify the challenges and opportunities and so create guidelines and recommendations on how best to develop synergies.
- Establish and continuously update Key performance indicator (KPI’s) values for current state-of-art battery technology, as collected from stakeholders across the battery value chain correlated and communicated via SET Plan progress monitoring.
- Establish Target Key performance indicators (Target KPI’s) values for future battery R&I as collected from all relevant forums, correlated and communicated via SET Plan progress monitoring and the Strategic Research and Innovation agenda (SRIA) to the entire R&I community in general.
- Implement and foster the adoption of uniform standards and methodologies for the reporting of battery research developments across EU and national projects building on existing European and national work/efforts.
- Execute a clear communication plan describing the hosting and updating website, organising events and facilitating networking. Communicate results and progress in Battery R&I on both a European and International level.
- Cooperate with ETIPs and similar stakeholders fora, provide support to existing SET Plan Implementation Plans and advancement towards more interconnected activities, both in terms of contents and implementation mechanisms.
- Proposals should possess both technical and operative expertise.
