 terials & Battery Value Chains Europe 2026 is a two-day European event bri
 nging together research\, industry and policy actors to address the strate
 gic\, technological and societal challenges shaping the upstream battery v
 alue chain in Europe. Aligned with Horizon Europe priorities and the imple
 mentation of the EU Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA)\, and supporting the
  EU’s RESourceEU Action Plan to secure and diversify supply\, strengthen
  resilience and accelerate deployment of critical raw materials value chai
 ns\, the event will focus on accelerating responsible sourcing\, sustainab
 le processing and policy coherence for lithium and related critical raw ma
 terials. 18 May 2026 (afternoon) – Expert Focus Groups (Invitation-only)
  The first day will be dedicated to in-depth\, structured expert discussio
 ns on four key domains that strongly influence research and innovation (R&
 I)\, regulatory implementation and industrial deployment in the European u
 pstream battery ecosystem. The format will prioritise small-group exchange
 s\, cross-working-group interaction and systems thinking\, addressing impa
