Purpose and goal
The project aims to prepare a high-quality Horizon Europe proposal on sustainable sodium-ion batteries by building a strong, balanced consortium and defining a clear technical scope and impact. The goal is to coordinate partners across the value chain and ensure strategic alignment with European priorities in advanced, cost-efficient battery technologies.
Expected effects and result
The project will deliver a competitive EU proposal and a well-structured consortium ready to advance sustainable sodium-ion battery innovation. Long term, the work supports reduced dependence on critical raw materials, strengthens the European battery value chain, and accelerates the transition toward cost-effective, climate-neutral energy storage solutions.
Planned approach and implementation
The project will coordinate consortium building, partner engagement, and proposal development through meetings and workshops. Work includes drafting scientific and administrative sections, aligning objectives and impact pathways, and conducting internal reviews. Expert support will ensure a coherent, competitive proposal ready for Horizon Europe submission.
