Approach and implementation:

Carried out according to plan, with over 100 individual meetings where researchers and industry collaborated very well to ensure relevance in research and industrial benefit for the intended KC MAXBATT. Three large meetings, physically with 100+ participants in November 2002, a digital one with 50+ participants in December and a planned physical one on February 1 with all parties involved (approx. 20 parties) physically to agree the last thing before the proposal is sent to KC MAXBATT to VINNOVA.
