One of the most outstanding EU-funded projects is AccCellBaT. Within this project, 11 European companies and research institutions from four countries have joined their forces to accelerate battery development in Europe.
The aim is to use simulation and virtual tests to determine the performance, service life, reliability and safety of battery systems for stationary and automotive applications.
The RecAL project involving 19 partners from 9 countries, supported by Horizon Europe funding, aims to maximize the potential of aluminum recycling by using digital technologies and working closely together along the value chain.
The COMET project PROMETHEUS is dedicated to improving efficiency, sustainability and productivity in metallurgical processes.
Another COMET-funded project is KaSiMiR, which focuses on the simulation of electrical wiring harnesses. The challenges of complex structures will be mastered by integrating various simulation models.
Project RESILIENT, which is funded by the province of Upper Austria, is researching the recovery and recycling of silicones and thermoplastics from multi-component products and offcuts.
The NaKareMa project from the third FFG funding initiative for circular economy aims to make PVC for cable sheathing more sustainable and resource-efficient without reducing its technical performance.
Michael Schwent, Global Head of Research and Innovation, emphasizes: "Investing in sustainability and digitalization is not only a strategic necessity, but also an ethical obligation to ensure long-term success and a sustainable future."
