Cooperation with European RTD community
To seek synergies with relevant stakeholders, M-ERA.NET systematically cooperates with the European RTD community in materials research and innovation, including future battery technologies. The consortium aims to facilitate a dialogue between public funding organisations and researchers. The European RTD community will benefit from the resulting strong interaction and continuous communication.

Presentation: Materials4Energy (M4E) Innovation Community
The presentation was given during the M-ERA.NET Consortium meeting on 17 September 2024 in Paris.
The Materials4Energy (M4E) Innovation Community was represented by Holger Ihssen from Helmholtz Office Brussels.
M4E has the objective to accelerate energy materials innovation through Materials Acceleration Platforms (MAPs). Some approaches were presented using example projects: AMANDA for high throughput synthesis of materials to optimise the photostability of organic photovoltaics (PV) materials, DECODE as a platform foraccelerated innovation and device development and a five-year bilateral collaboration project, the German-Canadian Materials Acceleration Centre GCMAC.

Workshop: Connecting European battery projects - a BATTERY 2030+ & M.ERA.NET event
Dates: 21st February and 4th April 2023
The M-ERA.NET consortium has organised in cooperation with the battery community (Battery 2030+ and EU partnership BEPA) this online event to connect battery-related projects in the EU. Altogether 30 battery related projects funded within the M-ERA.NET Call 2021 gave a presentation and discussed the research challenges. Additional issues like "smart battery functionalities" and "data handling and battery ontology" were raised.
Agenda of the Workshops on 21st February and on 4th April 2023.
