The recordings of the 4 sessions are accessible on the Battery 2030+ website.
Background
Battery 2030+ is the large-scale and long-term research initiative on future battery technologies announced in the Commission strategic action plan on batteries published in May 2018. The objective of Battery 2030+ is to foster the development of a competitive battery industry in Europe that will serve the needs of future carbon-neutral societies. It aims at new battery technologies with ultra-high performance (both in power and in their capacity to store energy), and which are safe, easily re-chargeable, re-usable and recyclable, and have the lowest environmental impact possible. By focusing on radically new ideas and long-term approaches, it complements incremental research efforts on upcoming generations of batteries driven by the industry’s short to medium term needs.
The conference was the final dissemination event of the Battery 2030+ Coordination and Support Action (CSA). It follow the release of the Battery 2030+ roadmap earlier in March that lay out the proposed research agenda for the initiative for the years ahead.
The CSA core group consists of 17 partners, leaders in their fields, from nine European countries. The initiative is coordinated by Kristina Edström, Professor of Inorganic Chemistry, Uppsala University.
A first set of research projects supporting the implementation of the roadmap are planned to start in September 2020 as result of the call in Horizon 2020 that kick-start this large-scale research initiative on future battery technologies.
