The new investment is open to both universities and non-university research institutions. The BMBF<\/a> will be awarding this funding as part of the umbrella concept \u2018Battery Research Factory<\/a>\u2019. The ministry hopes that four additional battery competence clusters will help to strengthen battery research in Germany along the entire value chain, furthering our understanding of battery life expectancy and battery recycling.<\/p>\n Federal Minister of Research Anja Karliczek explains: \u201cBattery technology is a key technology of the future. It starts with mobility, goes through energy storage in power grids and households, and doesn’t end with industrial applications, medical devices<\/a> or power tools. The battery is of diverse importance for our innovation and business location.<\/p>\n That is why my ministry has consistently strengthened battery research in Germany and the transfer to industrial application. The battery research landscape in Germany has been reorganised over the past ten years. This work is bearing fruit: Germany is now again a \u2018hotspot\u2019 in battery research in the best sense.\u201d<\/p>\nSupporting battery research<\/h3>\n
