WP leaders shared the latest achievements, discussed the challenges encountered along the way, and outlined the mitigation measures already in place, as well as the next steps planned for the coming months. Overall, the project continues to advance smoothly, with encouraging progress across all areas and important strides being made toward the development of more advanced lithium-ion batteries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of developing the next generation of batteries is ambitious, but also highly relevant. Safer, more efficient, and more sustainable battery technologies are essential if Europe is to strengthen its position in the transition to electric mobility. Batteries that require fewer raw materials, last longer, and can be more easily reused or recycled will not only help reduce environmental impact, but will also contribute to greater resilience in the face of climate change and the energy price shocks caused by geopolitical disruption. By helping shape the battery of the future, SAGELi is supporting Europe\u2019s path toward a cleaner, safer, and more efficient transportation sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6c531013 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p>The assembly also featured a workshop on social acceptance and stakeholder mapping, organised by LOMARTOV as part of Task 6.4. This activity plays a key role in the project, as understanding who the relevant stakeholders are, how they may benefit from the project\u2019s findings, and what concerns or expectations they may have is essential for ensuring the successful uptake of next-generation battery technologies. Increasing social acceptance is a crucial step in overcoming misconceptions that still surround electric mobility and in building trust around the technologies that will shape the future of transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sageli.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-09-at-14.48.13-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1071\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sageli.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-09-at-14.48.13-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sageli.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-09-at-14.48.13-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/sageli.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-09-at-14.48.13-1-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/sageli.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-09-at-14.48.13-1.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The partners will meet again in person next year in San Sebastian, Spain, for the next General Assembly.
