Battery Days 2023
Two-day battery event | German-Dutch cooperation on education, research, and developments in the next generation of batteries.
9 november 2023:
Time: 09.30h – 17.30h
Location: Enschede, U park Hotel, De Veldmaat 8, 7522 NM Enschede

The Dutch battery ecosystem is joining forces on research and development into next-generation batteries containing less critical raw materials such as nickel or cobalt. Ultimately, the aim is to gain a strong Dutch and European position. During the Battery Days on 9 and 10 November, we will show examples of our cooperation with Germany.
9 November 2023 – Enschede
The Battery Day on the 9th of November takes place at the UT in Enschede and has as its theme German-Dutch cooperation on education, research, and developments in the next generation of batteries. Besides Dutch speakers, several German scientists, knowledge institutions, and companies (including MEET, FFB, University of Münster, and KLIB) will be present.
Material Independence and Circular Batteries
Battery Competence Cluster-NL is the tracker of the submitted National Growth Fund proposal "Material Independence and Circular Batteries". With this proposal, the cluster contributes to climate objectives such as CO2 reduction, zero-emission transport, and reduction of the use of scarce raw materials. It also, partly, implements the policy goals from the national battery strategy, such as training sufficient suitable personnel for the battery sector and exploring bilateral cooperation. (In this case, we zoom in on the Netherlands and Germany.) During the Battery Day on the 9th of November, we will launch the proposal with a symbolic starting shot.
10 November 2023 – Münster
A morning has been organized on the 10th of November where interested parties from the Netherlands can visit the MEET Battery Research Center and the so-called PreFab, the first pilot plant for battery cell production of the Fraunhofer Research Institute for Battery Cell Production (FFB) in Münster. Please note that participation on the 10th of November will take place on a draw basis if the maximum capacity of 50 participants is exceeded. After registration, you will receive a written notification confirming your participation.
