🚀 The Mistral EU Project has officially kicked off! 🔋
On 14 October, the MISTRAL consortium gathered in Barcelona, Spain, for the project's Kick-off Meeting, marking the beginning of a 42-month journey towards advancing battery testing, reliability, and safety across Europe.
🇪🇺 Funded by the Horizon Europe programme and coordinated by Eurecat, MISTRAL brings together 18 partners from across Europe to accelerate battery validation through innovative approaches combining AI-driven methodologies, multiphysics modelling, Digital Twins, advanced virtual testing, and integrated digital platforms, while supporting the development of Digital Battery Passports.
💡 ITML is proud to be part of the MISTRAL consortium, leading Work Package 7 (WP7) – Digital Platform and Data Infrastructure.
During the meeting, Thanos Karydis represented ITML, presenting the company's expertise and activities in research and innovation, as well as introducing WP7, its objectives, planned activities, and expected contributions to the project.
Through WP7, ITML will lead the development of the project's digital infrastructure, focusing on an integrated digital platform, FAIR data management, and interoperable model exchange, while supporting Agentic AI integration and alignment with the Digital Battery Passport.
🤝 A big thank you to Eurecat for organising the meeting and to all consortium partners for the productive discussions and collaborative spirit!
We look forward to contributing our expertise and working together to drive innovation towards safer, more reliable, and sustainable battery technologies in Europe! 🔋🌍
