The HEALING BAT project celebrated its kick-off meeting on 1 and 2 June, hosted by the coordinator in its offices at the Technical University of Dortmund in Germany.
During the event, all partners met each other, shared their technical backgrounds and presented their expected contributions to the project.
To promote team building and kick-start a creative, international collaboration, the coordinator organised a visit to Dortmund’s abandoned Phoenix West steel mill, which represents the rise and fall of an entire industry. The meetings ended with a coordination session, followed by a planning of the upcoming activities and deliverables.
Stefan Palzer, project coordinator at TU Dortmund, commented:
“Today, the former Phoenix West area is not only a monument of industrial history but has become a symbol for seeding innovative enterprises as a cornerstone in managing structural change. In this spirit, HealingBat will play its part in transforming Europe’s battery industry towards a more sustainable, more competitive future role.”
