Novel approaches towards next-generation battery concepts, leveraging the enabling role of innovative advanced materials (BATT4EU and IAM4EU Partnerships)

In short

This is a Research and Innovation Action under Horizon Europe. The budget is €48 million for about 10 grants of €4.8 million each. It is paid as a lump sum, so you report results instead of costs. Submission opens on 15 December 2026. Deadline for the first stage: 14 April 2027 (cut-off 2 of a series).

What the call wants to achieve

• Proposals are expected to provide the state-of-the-art benchmark for the performance of Design-to-Performance lithium-ion batteries [1] and sodium-ion batteries and compare the project’s improvements of performance targets to said benchmark.
• Main component (active and main inactive materials) cost of below €35 per kWh
• Validation of advanced battery concepts achieving energy density exceeding 500 Wh/kg and/or Power density exceeding the state-of-the-art benchmark based on the selected application(s).
