Thank you!
Thank you to all participants!
INL - International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory in collaboration with ANI - Agência Nacional de Inovação hosted yesterday, May 4th, the Horizon Europe BATT4EU Funding Opportunities event and it was focused on presenting the BATT4EU partnership and funding opportunities in Horizon Europe for energy storage solutions.
Counting on a multidisciplinary group of experts sharing ground-breaking viewpoints, this event took us to central topics that sparked insightful discussions and laid considerable foundations to boost a competitive, sustainable and circular European battery value chain. It was possible to discuss the battery ecosystem and challenges in Europe, the current state-of-art in Portugal, the future battery technologies for Europe, and the priorities for EU funding in energy storage research, development, and deployment.
Thanks to all the speakers and participants, the conversations and interactions were stimulating and enabled a strong interconnection between vast spheres of industry, academia, and governing bodies. It was the beginning of a promising journey of further discussions and potential collaborations. We hope to continue our conversations in the near future.
We look forward to welcoming you back to INL soon!
