16 Horizon EU calls for battery innovation

The work programme covers the entire battery value chain

Anyone scanning the work programme for calls that may be of interest to parties engaged in battery innovation may get the impression of reading a description of the complete battery value chain. And in fact, that is exactly what it is. From raw materials to end-of-life and all the steps in between: through the 16 calls, there is a complete demand to help build a strong, self-sufficient and independent battery ecosystem in Europe. To get a good idea of the topics for which Horizon Europe funding will be available, the 16 calls are listed here:

• Horizon-CL5-2023-D2-01-01: Technologies for sustainable, cost-efficient and low carbon footprint downstream processing & production of battery-grade materials
• Horizon-CL5-2023-D2-01-02: New processes for upcoming recycling feeds
• Horizon-CL5-2023-D2-01-03: Advanced digital twins for battery cell production lines
