BEPA - Batteries European Partnership Association

❗ Big news ❗ 🔋 We are delighted to present the new Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) 🔋 🔍 What is the SRIA? The SRIA, is the result of a strategic alignment between all the battery stakeholders in Europe organised in the Batteries Europe & BEPA's working groups. 💡 The document serves as the blueprint for setting the strategic priorities in battery research in Europe. It will provide the guidelines of the #HorizonEurope work programs and other public/private #funding opportunities for the upcoming years. 👏 BEPA thanks all its members for their invaluable contribution to the #SRIA2024 🔗 Find below our six imperatives, the strategic pillars that will help connect #battery innovation with #industry and business and learn more about the SRIA ➡ https://lnkd.in/eHS-ByfV #BEPA #SRIA2024 #HorizonEurope #batteryinnovation BATTERY 2030+

Twenty years ago, the EU family grew bigger! ⭐ Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia all joined the European Union in 2004, making the EU one of the world’s largest single markets! The assession of Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia some years later, further strengthened the Union! ⭐ Currently more than 450 million people enjoy free movement within the EU, as well as increased protection of human rights and freedoms and more opportunities for professional collaboration, as well as R&I through Horizon Europe! BEPA - Batteries European Partnership Association celebrates the twenty year anniversary since the enlargement and is looking forward to all the opportunities for collaboration and progress in Research and Innovation!
