Grant Description
This coordination and support action will finance activities to organise and animate national and regional coordination groups, liaise with stakeholder platforms and projects, develop and maintain an online observatory of battery technology state-of-the-art, technical targets, key performance indicators and open funding calls, analyse global battery roadmaps to update European research strategy, support monitoring of technological progress, animate the battery research community through events a...
Required Results for Successful Funding
Expected Outcomes
Projects are expected to contribute to:
• Establishing a solid, Europe-wide information base for R&I stakeholders, supporting decision-making across the battery value chain at European, national and regional levels for both public and private actors
• Creating an agile European battery value chain capable of updating its priorities in response to global trends
• Maximising the scientific, technological, economic and societal impact of the BATT 4 EU Partnership and its projects, paving the way for industrial exploitation in key energy and transport domains
• Fostering a well-coordinated, world-leading European battery research community that gathers excellent scientists, innovators and relevant stakeholders
• Spreading excellence in battery research across Europe and enhancing widespread adoption of best practices

Funded areas
Scope Requirements
Proposals must address all of the following in detail:
1. Network Coordination: Structure, governance and facilitation of NRCG with BEPA, including stakeholder engagement plans and meeting schedules.
2. Stakeholder Cooperation: Formal liaison with ETIPs, IPCEIs and other forums, including defined inputs to SET Plan implementation and mechanisms for cross-stakeholder content alignment.
3. Online Observatory Platform: Functional design, technical architecture and data management plan delivering:
• Global & EU state-of-the-art assessments updated on a rolling basis
• Dynamic technical targets and intermediary KPIs for EU battery R&I
• Comprehensive call overview tracker across EU, national, regional programmes
• Strategy for platform continuity beyond project end
4. Global Roadmap Analysis: Methodology for benchmarking non-EU roadmaps against EU targets; annual R&I strategy update reports specifying short-, medium-, long-term research needs.
5. Monitoring Support: Defined processes to collect, analyse and report indicators in cooperation with EC and EBA monitoring activities.
6. Community Animation: Programme of thematic events, workshops and cross-project exchanges to elevate sector knowledge, align project goals and disseminate best practices.
7. Funding Mechanism Outreach: Communication and guidance activities on follow-on funding (e.g., Innovation Fund, EBA One-Stop-Shop).
8. Standards & Methodologies: Plan to promote adoption of common data standards and reporting methodologies across the community.
9. Annual Conference: Concept note, agenda and stakeholder roles for a yearly BATT 4 EU project results conference, co-organised with BEPA and others.
10. JRC Engagement (optional): Approach for involving the JRC, ensuring equal information access for all applicants.
11. Reporting to Batt 4 EU: Mechanisms and timelines for feeding KPI data and project results into the co-programmed Battery Partnership.
