BeyondBattRec is a Horizon Europe project that develops safe, sustainable and highly efficient pre‑processing technologies for end‑of‑life lithium‑ion batteries, aiming to recover up to 95% of critical materials and significantly reduce carbon emissions.
We are pleased to invite related projects, association and experts in the field to the first BeyondBattRec Stakeholder Workshop, taking place on 23 September 2026 in a hybrid format at University Jaén, Spain.
Building on our joint ambition to accelerate sustainable battery value chains, this workshop will bring together key representatives from industry, research and innovation to discuss next-generation recycling solutions for Li-ion batteries, with a particular focus on selective and efficient pre‑processing technologies.
