Pooling European competence in the development of world-class next-generation batteries
New battery technologies that are affordable and sustainable over the entire life cycle are crucial to achieve the goals of the European Green Deal. As part of the EU project TwinVECTOR, the centre of excellence at the Tomas Bata University in Zlín, Czech Republic, is to be expanded technically and institutionally with the support of the consortium partners to enable multidisciplinary national and international project teams to network, create synergies and work together on the further development of battery energy storage technologies. To strengthen the TBU's research activities, the project partners are contributing their various areas of expertise. For instance, VTT supports the consortium with their expertise in material development, while the KIT provides their expertise in the field of life cycle analysis and the AIT offers its knowledge in energy storage systems.
