Project description
Learning how to reinvent the battery
The MSCA, EU-funded DESTINY project, coordinated by the French CNRS, will significantly contribute to increase the level of education in the field of batteries. DESTINY will train 50 PhDs in reinventing battery materials discovery and engineering, developing smart batteries and functionalities, and applying advanced technologies in the industry. The candidates will be trained at the vanguard of European battery research, allowing them to take advantage of innovative technologies. It will implement advanced training in collaboration with the European large-scale BATTERY 2030+ research initiative, with the combined development of a materials acceleration platform and the creation of a battery interface genome, to invent the ultra-high performing batteries of the future. The PhDs trained within DESTINY will support the establishment of the battery industry in Europe. 40 institutions from the European Research Institute ALISTORE-ERI are partners in DESTINY.
Objective
"In the global context of the launched ""European Battery Alliance"" and ""European Technology & Innovation Platform, Batteries Europe"", many Universities, Research Centres and supporting organisations have agreed to build the Battery 2030+ consortium as an ambitious European initiative for long-term research on ultra-performant batteries, with a clear focus on addressing obstacles preventing future batteries to reach their true potential.
The MSCA COFUND DP project DESTINY will contribute substantially to the launching of this initiative at the education level through its advanced DP training adhering to key research areas of the Battery 2030+ long-term roadmap, including the development of a materials acceleration platform (MAP) and the establishment of the battery interface genome (BIG), combined as BIG-MAP. DESTINY will also contribute to short-to-medium term roadmaps identified by Batteries Europe so as to bring know-how and new emerging technologies for the future, for both industrial and academic professionals.
DESTINY is a DP programme coordinated by the French CNRS, that will create a paradigm change in battery research, in line with the new European context. The 5-year project will train 50 PhDs on: 1) Reinvent battery materials discovery and engineering, 2) Develop smart batteries and functionalities 3) Implement new technologies in industry. All of these benefit from the combined excellence of the DESTINY consortium : 40 partners from 12 European countries, including Universities, Research Centres, Large Scale Facilities and 8 Companies. All candidates will be trained at the very forefront of battery research to enable them to accelerate and exploit novel technologies from a solid basis of knowledge and skills. Interdisciplinary competences and skills will be favoured through the complementarity within DESTINY. In addition, DESTINY includes a broad set of trainings in transferable skills: personal effectiveness, research governance and entrepreneurship."
