FREE4LIB] Raw Materials Week
Production of raw materials for batteries from European resources
Several EU funded projects are clustering together on the 14th November 2022 at the Raw Materials Week in Brussels to present their objectives and activities related to the recovery and production of raw materials for battery applications from European resources.
The clustering event will be an opportunity for the attendees to share knowledge on the different approaches used for the recycling and recovery of raw materials for batteries applications in order to stimulate synergies and innovations in this field,and identify potential exploitation routes.
The clustering workshop will provide the stakeholders essential information about the main objectives and activities of each project as well as their partnership and expected outcomes. At the end of the workshop a discussion will focus on ideas pursuing future clustering activities.
