SIMBA: all solid state Li-batteries
Sustainable and Innovative Materials for Batteries: the ambition is to bundle knowhow and effort to create a local battery ecosystem, which enables value creation and jobs in Flanders by the time generation 4 batteries (all solid-state, ASSB) break through.
MARES: recycling of industrial residues
Recycling of ‘Materials from solid and liquid industrial process Residues’. The aim is at creating and demonstrating an operational, flexible toolbox to recover metals and valorize residual matrix into building materials.
MADUROS: durability of metal structures
Material durability and modelling of the loading of metals in an environment causing degradation (corrosion, abrasion, fatigue).
