Proposals are expected to contribute to all following points:
Proposals under this topic are expected to address all aspects for one of the following categories:
1. Sustainable Processing and Refining of next generation batteries-grade Material, delivering all of the following:
OR:
2. Utilising Bio-based Raw Materials for Battery Electrode Materials delivering on all of the following:
The Commission initiative for Safe and Sustainable by Design[2] (SSbD) sets a framework for assessing the safety and sustainability of chemicals and materials which should be considered as a reference for project proposals.
This topic implements the co-programmed European Partnership on Batteries (Batt4EU). As such, projects resulting from this topic will be expected to report on the results to the European Partnership on Batteries (Batt4EU) in support of the monitoring of its KPIs.

1. Admissibility Conditions: Proposal page limit and layout
described in Annex A and Annex E of the Horizon Europe Work Programme General Annexes.
Proposal page limits and layout: described in Part B of the Application Form available in the Submission System.
2. Eligible Countries
described in Annex B of the Work Programme General Annexes.
A number of non-EU/non-Associated Countries that are not automatically eligible for funding have made specific provisions for making funding available for their participants in Horizon Europe projects. See the information in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide.
3. Other Eligible Conditions
If projects use satellite-based earth observation, positioning, navigation and/or related timing data and services, beneficiaries must make use of Copernicus and/or Galileo/EGNOS (other data and services may additionally be used).
described in Annex B of the Work Programme General Annexes.
4. Financial and operational capacity and exclusion
described in Annex C of the Work Programme General Annexes.
5a. Evaluation and award: Award criteria, scoring and thresholds
In order to ensure a balanced portfolio of activities covering both categories of materials, grants will be awarded not only in order of ranking but at least also to one proposal dealing with the technology that has not been covered by the proposal selected first, provided they attain all thresholds (and subject to available budget). This condition to ensure a balanced portfolio will also be considered to be met if one project addressing both aspects is funded.
are described in Annex D of the Work Programme General Annexes.
5b. Evaluation and award: Submission and evaluation processes
are described in Annex F of the Work Programme General Annexes and the Online Manual.
5c. Evaluation and award: Indicative timeline for evaluation and grant agreement
described in Annex F of the Work Programme General Annexes.
6. Legal and financial set-up of the grants
The granting authority may, up to 4 years after the end of the action, object to a transfer of ownership or to the exclusive licensing of results, as set out in the specific provision of Annex 5.
Eligible costs will take the form of a lump sum as defined in the Decision of 7 July 2021 authorising the use of lump sum contributions under the Horizon Europe Programme – the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2021-2027) – and in actions under the Research and Training Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community (2021-2025) [[This decision is available on the Funding and Tenders Portal, in the reference documents section for Horizon Europe, under ‘Simplified costs decisions’ or through this link: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/guidance/ls-decision_he_en.pdf]].

Applicants asked the EU 7 questions about this call and the EU published the answers. They clarify the call documents but do not replace them.
No, all are eligible, and the more are covered adequately, the better the proposal would be rated. But it is not mandatory to cover all three.

Yes, this is within the scope of the topic for anodes that are predominantly or fully based on silicon. Graphite blends with lower percentages of silicon are not.
Read it on the EU portal ↗Answered 25 May 2026
The inclusion of secondary raw materials is encouraged, but it should not be the main focus of the proposal. The expectation is that the processing of primary raw materials is the core activity.

In the case of sodium-ion batteries, graphite should not be used as reference; instead, please compare the performance with state-of-the-art hard carbon anodes.

Anode material development applies to lithium OR sodium cells. It is not necessary to cover both battery types.
Read it on the EU portal ↗Answered 5 Aug 2026
The type of binder is not specified, so both cathode and anode are considered in focus. Given the scope of the topic, they certainly need to be produced from European bio-based feedstock. Water compatibility is not specified, but please keep the safe and sustainable by design framework into account, which would favor water-based processing over other solvents.
