OUR CO-ORGANISERS

The European Batteries R&I Community is the tagline describing four initiatives collaborating in the battery sector; Batteries Europe, Battery 2030+, BEPA and the two IPCEI. What makes these initiatives a community is their joint mission to drive European research and innovation in the field of batteries. Their mission is concretized in the co-organisation of activities, events, official statements and the joint publications.

	Batteries Europe is an open and inclusive platform that aims to represent the entire battery value chain from various fields in research, business and academia. Batteries Europe aims to strengthen the synergies and complementarities among initiatives and EU projects within and beyond the European battery ecosystem.

	Battery 2030+ is a European research initiative that brings together stakeholders in the field of battery research creating a generic toolbox for transforming the way we develop and design batteries in Europe called the BATTERY 2030+ research roadmap. The overall objective is to address the key challenges in inventing the sustainable, safe, high-performance batteries of the future.

	BEPA gathers the European battery community to provide input and advice to the European Commission on identifying priorities of research and innovation activities. The mission is the development of a strong, competitive and sustainable battery value-chain in Europe.

	IPCEI It’s a transnational project focusing on growth, employment and competitiveness of the European Union industry and economy funded by state aid. IPCEI has been implemented to promote battery production.
