TwinVectorEU

🌍🔋 We’re thrilled to invite you to the online webinar “Integrating Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) in Battery Research”, organized by our colleagues at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, as part of the #TwinVectorEU project. 🗓 Date: November 20th, 2024 🕒 Time: 10:00 AM – 11:45 AM (CET) 💻 Location: Online 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eTtGRHj4 (Registration is required) As battery technologies drive the clean energy transition and climate neutrality goals, it’s essential to consider not only their environmental and economic impacts but also their social implications. This webinar will explore how SSH can be integrated into battery research to enhance sustainability, social responsibility, and inclusivity throughout the battery life cycle. Key discussion points include: • The socio-technical perspective on battery development • The role of SSH in life cycle assessments • Stakeholder engagement and societal values in battery innovation This is a fantastic opportunity to engage with experts, discuss the social dimensions of emerging battery technologies, and reflect on how SSH can help shape a sustainable and socially just energy future. Don't miss this insightful session! We look forward to your participation in this important dialogue. #HorizonEurope #BatteryResearch #SocialSciences #Humanities #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #Innovation #ClimateNeutrality #EnergyTransition

Recently, within the planned TwinVector project staff exchange from Tomas Bata University in Zlín to Bavarian Research Alliance (BayFOR) GmbH partner, the project management team could also be equipped with knowledge and inspired at the Communication training on public relations workshop in Bavaria and online. #HorizonEurope #TwinVectorEU #greenenergy #batteries

Recently, the #TwinVectorEU project was presented at the EUROPEAN RAW MATERIALS CLUSTERING EVENT in Seville, Spain. The online introduction ”TwinNING FOR DEVELOPMENT OF WORLD-CLASS NEXT-GENERATION BATTERIES” aimed to glance at the European cooperation and partnership within the topic. #HorizonEurope #TwinVectorEU #greenenergy #batteries

It is a great honor for us to present our #TwinVectorEU project at the European Raw Materials Clustering Event 🌍 Register and stay informed about the latest developments in the world of raw material industry 📚

Great news! On November 27, #TwinVectorEU researchers from the Tomas Bata University in Zlín, for the second time, participated in the Researchers’ Night Event https://www.nocvedcu.cz/en. Their purpose was to show visitors that they are working on developing new generation batteries and to introduce the international cooperation of Tomas Bata University with EU projects like TwinVECTOR which solve these issues. #HorizonEurope #research #greenenergy #batteries #TBU

A successful staff exchange with Bavarian Research Alliance (BayFOR) GmbH! We had a productive #staffexchange with our project partner at the Centre of Polymer Systems, Tomas Bata University in Zlín! A big thank you to Gabriela Blumberger and Simone Wiegand for leading the hands-on workshops on #HorizonEurope project management and the #TwinVectorEU project management. These sessions provided valuable insights for our staff on financial & administrative issues, reporting, and budget management. We're excited to continue our #collaboration with BayFOR and leverage this knowledge to further strengthen our research projects in Horizon Europe. #research #BayFOR #TBU

📚 We are pleased to present our latest scientific article, developed as part of the #TwinVectorEU project 🔋  This review offers a comprehensive assessment of lithium-based batteries using Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (E-LCA), Life Cycle Costing (LCC), and Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) methodologies. It highlights key challenges such as data scarcity, methodological inconsistencies, and uncertainties around future costs and impacts. The study emphasizes the need for standardized methods, better data quality, and interdisciplinary collaboration to drive sustainable battery practices, supporting the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a cleaner energy future. 💡 Discover more - https://lnkd.in/eVvid8s3 🖊 DEBASHRI PAUL, PhD, Viera Pechancova, Nabanita Saha, Drahomíra Pavelková, Nibedita Saha, Marjan Motiei, Thaiskang Jamatia, Mainak Chaudhuri, Anna Ivanichenko, Mariana Venher, Lucie Hrbáčková, saha petr #LCSA #ELCA #LCC #SLCA #lithiumbattery #SDG #HorizonEU

Exciting times for sustainable battery research! 🔋🌍 We recently wrapped up a fruitful exchange with VTT, diving deep into battery technology and sustainability assessment. Explored sustainable battery tech, hands-on demos, and knowledge sharing. Thanks to the VTT team for their warm welcome and valuable insights! #battery #sustainability #research #greenenergy #HorizonEurope #HorizonEU #TwinVectorEU

Highlighting Social Sustainability in Battery Development! 🔋 🌍 👨👩👧👦 As a HorizonEurope project, our #TwinVectorEU is proud to contribute to the #BEPA (Batteries Europe Partnership), where our coordinator Viera Pechancova recently chaired the Social Sciences and Humanities task force at three key events: • BEPA Plenary Session in Brussels: Advocated for integrating social considerations throughout the battery value chain. • Social Sciences and Humanities Online Workshop: Facilitated discussions on the crucial role of social sciences in sustainable battery development. 📌 Read the position paper here: https://lnkd.in/dE6m2tXn • National and Regional Coordinators Groups Meeting (NRCG) - June 26, 2024: Presented the importance of social sustainability to a wider audience.
