D3.3 Desk Research & Data Analysis – Release 1

ALBATTS is the ERASMUS+ project focused on the future of skills in the battery sector. It is meant to enable interaction between industrial and educational stakeholders and their engagement in the analysis of the state of art and the directions towards the future of competence need. 

We have now released the first of a set of reports on Detailed Desk Research and Data Analysis for the overall sector, providing a quantitative and qualitative evaluation on the equal importance of researching new technologies and identifying new job roles and new needs of learning and upskilling to achieve battery production autonomy in the European Union. 

This first report integrates activities dedicated to assessing sectoral intelligence within the battery ecosystem with an umbrella overview of the mobile and stationary industrial subsystems. It is a combination of desk and field research that, on the one hand, analyses available bibliographic work in both stationary and mobile subsectors and, on the other, collects tangible perspectives from stakeholders in these battery ecosystems. 

Overall, the document defines several goals structured in different sections, covering aspects going from current technologies, job roles, and education to an overview of the battery value-chain. A gap analysis is also done for each researched topic and defined correspondent challenges to deploy designed solutions in the future. 

These will be the basis for a roadmap to synchronize the demand for new competences from enterprises, with the supply of education and training services, customized to meet the demands.
