Ograniczenie dotyczące wnioskodawcy

An entity established in an otherwise eligible country is ineligible to participate if it is directly or indirectly controlled by China or by a legal entity established in China.

Applies to both applicants and other action participants as the topic states “not eligible to participate”; does not resolve how any individual control case is assessed.

Konsorcjum wymagane

Tak

At least three mutually independent legal entities in different countries: at least one in an EU Member State and two others in different EU Member States or Associated Countries. Affiliates do not count toward the minimum.

Inny warunek

Innovation Action (IA).

Inny warunek

Where required, proposals should include robust and digitalised sorting and other advanced pre-treatment technologies.

Inny warunek

When satellite-based Earth observation, positioning/navigation or timing data/services are used, beneficiaries must use Copernicus and/or Galileo/EGNOS; other sources may additionally be used.

Inny warunek

The applicable Horizon Europe MGA describes the action grant as budget-based mixed actual cost: based on actual costs incurred, while allowing other funding forms such as unit costs/contributions, flat-rate costs/contributions, lump sums or financing not linked to costs. The topic-specific legal/financial section directs applicants to General Annex G; it does not name a separate grant form in the reviewed topic provisions.

The final grant agreement and approved Annex 2 specify the applicable budget categories and funding forms. Do not treat the estimate as a salary entitlement or assume every category is reimbursed only as an actual cost.

Inny warunek

The table expects around 2 projects to be funded under this topic. This is an indicative planning count, not a consortium-size rule or guaranteed award number.

Scope: expected funded projects, not beneficiaries, consortium members or awards guaranteed.

Inny warunek

Proposals could consider JRC involvement for added value on battery circularity and sustainability; JRC will ensure other applicants receive the same information about its possible contribution.

Inny warunek

JRC participation may be as a zero-funded beneficiary or associated partner after selection; it does not participate in proposal preparation or submission.

Inny warunek

The granting authority may object to transfer of ownership or exclusive licensing of results for up to four years after the action ends, under the specified Annex 5 provision.

Inny warunek

The Commission’s Safe and Sustainable by Design initiative should be considered as a reference for project proposals.

Inny warunek

The expected outcomes include improved cost and recovery efficiency of scaled recycling technologies; efficient recycling of diverse feedstocks including production scrap and mixed lithium-ion chemistries; reduced EU dependence on imported raw materials; and demonstrable compliance with EU Batteries Regulation recycling-efficiency and material-recovery requirements.

Inny warunek

Proposals are expected to address innovation improving adaptability, flexibility and operational efficiency of existing battery recycling processes.

Inny warunek

One of the three expected scope points is development and demonstration of recycling technologies handling variable-composition feedstocks, potentially in one batch.

Inny warunek

A required scope point is optimization of hydrometallurgical and/or pyrometallurgical processing for enhanced critical-metal recovery, aiming at EU Batteries Regulation recovery-efficiency requirements.

Inny warunek

A required scope point is detailed TEA and comprehensive LCA demonstrating improved energy efficiency, CO2/ecological footprint and economic viability.

Inny warunek

If the expected exploitation involves developing, creating, manufacturing or marketing a product or process, or creating/providing a service, the exploitation and dissemination plan must include an exploitation strategy. The plans are expected to include preliminary scalability, commercialisation and deployment plans, and possible funding sources (particularly the Innovation Fund).

Inny warunek

Projects are expected to report results to Batt4EU to support monitoring partnership KPIs.

Inny warunek

Projects are expected to improve mixed input-stream processing, particularly production scrap and varied lithium-ion chemistries, and demonstrate black-mass processing that recovers high-purity battery-grade materials suitable for reintroduction into the European battery-manufacturing value chain.

Poziom gotowości technologicznej na koniec projektu, maksimum

TRL 7

Upper endpoint of the expected end-of-project TRL 6–7 range; not a hard ceiling on project ambition.

Poziom gotowości technologicznej na koniec projektu, minimum

TRL 6

Lower endpoint of the expected end-of-project TRL 6–7 range; activities may start at any TRL. This is an expected range, not a separately stated mandatory floor.

Koszt kwalifikowalny

Direct-contract natural persons and paid third-party secondments may qualify when assigned to the action, working under employee-like conditions, results belong to the beneficiary unless agreed otherwise, and cost corresponds to actual cost without significant difference from comparable employees. No call-specific position or salary is stated.

Koszt kwalifikowalny

Employee personnel costs are eligible only for beneficiary personnel assigned to the action, employed under contract or equivalent appointing act, and meeting general eligibility conditions. Under the standard actual-cost method the rate is calculated from actual personnel costs and declared action days; the MGA specifies 215 days in the annual-rate formula and requires declared days to be identifiable and verifiable. No topic-specific job, salary amount, headcount or wage entitlement is stated.

Koszt kwalifikowalny

Under the MGA default equipment option, action-used equipment/infrastructure/assets are declared as depreciation based on actual incurred cost and the beneficiary’s accounting practices; only the share corresponding to actual use during the action is eligible. Renting/leasing has its separate MGA condition. The topic pages do not set a special full-purchase-cost option.

Koszt kwalifikowalny

For the actual-cost components of the mixed grant, costs must be incurred by the beneficiary during the action period, declared in an eligible budget category, connected to and necessary for the action, identifiable and verifiable in the accounts, compliant with national tax/labour/social-security law, and reasonable, justified and consistent with sound financial management.

Koszt kwalifikowalny

Indirect costs use the General MGA flat rate of 25% of eligible direct costs, excluding volunteer costs, subcontracting, financial support to third parties and any exempt specific categories. This is an indirect-cost calculation rule, not 25% additional direct-cost funding or a call allocation.

Koszt kwalifikowalny

Action purchases must meet general eligibility rules and usual purchasing practices ensuring best value for money (or lowest price where appropriate) and no conflict of interest. Travel, accommodation and subsistence use actual costs under usual travel practices; other goods, works and services are based on actual costs. Contracting authorities/entities must also follow applicable procurement law.

Koszt kwalifikowalny

Unpaid SME owners and natural-person beneficiaries may declare personnel only under the Annex 2a unit-cost method and general eligibility rules; no topic-specific wage or hiring entitlement is stated.

Koszt kwalifikowalny

Action subcontracting is eligible on actual-cost basis when it meets general eligibility rules and is awarded under the beneficiary’s usual purchasing practices ensuring best value for money (or lowest price where appropriate) and no conflict of interest. Any applicable limits are determined by the signed grant and action conditions; no topic-specific subcontracting cap is stated in these pages.

Intensywność wsparcia, maksimum

70 percent of eligible costs

Maximum for for-profit entities under IA; non-profit legal entities may receive up to 100%, represented in a separate scoped fact.

Intensywność wsparcia, maksimum

100 percent of eligible costs

Only for eligible non-profit legal entities under the Innovation Action; the general maximum for other entities is 70%. Final rate fixed in grant agreement.
