SUMMARY:XTRACT is a strong partner in the Cluster Hub Annual Meeting 2025
DESCRIPTION:On 20 November 2025\, the Cluster Hub Annual Meeting brought together EU-funded projects advancing sustainable extraction\, processing\, and recycling of battery materials. This network is jointly shaping a strong\, coordinated voice for Europe’s battery future. Collaboration makes an impact! \n\n\n\nThe project coordinator\, Prof. Sabrina Hedrich (TUBAF)\, presented XTRACT. The presentation highlighted how XTRACT advances sustainable\, efficient\, and digitally enabled extraction and processing of raw materials\, supporting Europe’s broader goals for a resilient and responsible battery value chain. \n\n\n\nXTRACT’s participation also included involvement in a round-table discussion\, bringing the project’s perspective into dialogue with industry representatives\, researchers\, and policymakers. The discussion reinforced the importance of collaboration across Europe to secure responsible access to critical raw materials and to accelerate the green transition. \n\n\n\nThe Cluster Hub Annual Meeting 2025 brought together more than 25 EU-funded projects and 150 participants from EU Member States\, covering the entire battery raw materials value chain. Discussions focused on technological approaches validated through Horizon Europe projects\, cross-sector dialogue\, and challenges related to scaling\, environmental performance\, and social acceptance.The event was opened by Member of the European Parliament Oliver Schenk. In his speech\, he addressed the need for strong collaboration among EU Member States in the context of the new Clean Industrial Deal. No Member State can develop a value chain alone; Europe must move faster through technology uptake\, clear funding pathways\, and common regulations.. \n\n\n\nIn addition to the presentation\, Dr Jana Pinka (GEOS) participated in the event\, with promotional material distributed and bilateral discussions held\, supporting networking activities and future collaboration within the Cluster Hub and beyond.A review article covering the Cluster Hub Annual Meeting is available here.
