Summary
Forthcoming EU call topic HORIZON-CL5-2027-02-D2-06 · HORIZON Innovation Actions. Part of call HORIZON-CL5-2027-02: BATTERIES and ENERGY. Opens 2026-12-03; next deadline 2027-03-31. Topic page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-CL5-2027-02-D2-06
Expected Outcome: Proposals are expected to contribute to all following points: - Significantly enhanced competitiveness, resilience, and sustainability of the European battery cell manufacturing industry, achieving measurable reductions in capital expenditure (CAPEX), operational expenditure (OPEX), energy consumption, and environmental footprint compared to state-of-the-art processes. - Demonstrated advanced manufacturing processes and equipment that substantially decrease battery production costs and improve overall production efficiency and battery quality. - Established flexible and modular pilot production lines capable of efficiently transitioning between various battery chemistries and compositions, with demonstrated reduction in cross-contamination and effective management of sensitive materials.
Scope: Proposals are expected to target the development and demonstration of innovative, next-generation battery cell manufacturing processes and machinery. These solutions are expected to explicitly focus on simultaneously achieving significant cost reductions and considerable decreases in energy consumption over the battery lifecycle, while maintaining or improving battery cell quality and sustainability metrics. Proposals are expected to address all of the following: - Demonstration of flexible, modular, and reconfigurable machinery to be integrated in manufacturing pilot lines that effectively accommodate transitions between various lithium-ion chemistries/compositions and sodium-ion chemistries. - Development and demonstration novel mixing systems and novel electrode manufacturing techniques with advanced inline quality control - Optimization…

- Most Horizon Europe calls score three criteria (the ERC uses excellence alone). Excellence: clarity and ambition of the objectives, and the soundness of the methodology.
- Impact: credible pathways to the expected outcomes, and measures to communicate and exploit results.
- Quality and efficiency of implementation: the work plan, resources and the consortium's capacity.
