Batteries are one key technology enabling a climate-neutral Europe by 2050. A pan-European research and innovation action is necessary to tackle the challenges preventing batteries to reach ultrahigh performance and to rapidly find new sustainable battery materials. The BATTERY 2030\ large-scale research initiative aims to invent the batteries of the future by providing breakthrough technologies to the European battery industry throughout the value chain and enable long-term European leadership in both existing markets (road transport, stationary energy storage), and future emerging applications (robotics, aerospace, medical devices, internet of things). This application for a Coordination and Support Action, with the acronym BATTERY 2030PLUS, will lead to the continued development of the BATTERY 2030\ large-scale research initiative. It kick-starts a European long-term research initiative on batteries. The main objectives are to develop the BATTERY 2030\ R&I roadmap and facilitate its implementation by coordinating and monitoring the consortia winning the calls LC-BAT-12, 13, 14 -2020. In addition, this consortium will in collaboration with the LC-BAT projects, propose guidelines for data sharing, standardization of protocols, and modelling methods/tools. The consortium will also prepare a common strategy for the protection and commercial exploitation of the results, as well as building competence by new European curricula and facilitate the communication, dialogue, and cooperation on cross-cutting topics. Together with the ETIP Batteries Europe the consortium will develop the SET-Plan for batteries and establish links to national and international battery stakeholder networks. The consortium gathers 20 leading European universities and research institutes (UU, Aalto, AIT, CEA, CIC Energigune, CIDETEC, CNRS/CDF, DTU, EMPA, ENEA, FRAUNHOFER, FZJ, KIT, WWU/MEET, NIC, POLITO, SINTEF, TU Delft, VUB, and WTU) and three industry-led associations (EASE, EMIRI, and Recharge).
