The Batteries European Partnership Association came up with Forward, a consultation process looking towards the future of R&I for batteries to identify the challenges and solutions for the 10th Framework Programme.

The survey is open to all stakeholders in the sector , deadline for filling in the survey is 15 November 2024.

WHAT:

FP10 is the name of the next European framework programme for research and innovation. We are approaching the formulation of the next Framework Programme (FP10), by the European Commission, that will shape the future of the European battery value chain. This is a pivotal moment where your expertise and insights can influence the strategic direction, funding priorities, and innovation focus for the coming years.

WHY

• Addressing Broadening Challenges: The hurdles in our value chain are expanding, and we need a clear, structured understanding of them to inform FP10.
• Harnessing Rapid Innovation: With the rapid emergence of new technologies, capturing these advancements is vital to staying competitive and securing FP10 backing.
• Building a Compelling Case: Your input will help create a compelling narrative for informing broader stakeholders and the European Commission.
• A guiding recipe for other EU support mechanisms: The support for innovation and early-stage deployment will not be limited to the next Framework Programme, and other funding instruments at the EU-level.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR: 

• Identify Challenges: Share the challenges you observe in the European battery value chain. These can be broad or specific at the macro or micro level, covering technical, economic, environmental, strategic, business, or organizational aspects.
• Suggest Solutions: Propose solutions that innovation provides to these challenges, highlighting how innovation can move the sector forward.
