Missed our recent webinar on SafeLiBatt – Safety and risk assessment of 1st and 2nd life lithium-ion batteries ? The recording is now available online . This webinar presented the key results of the SafeLiBatt project , funded by SAF€RA , and explored the safety, environmental and socio-economic challenges associated with the repurposing of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries for second-life applications such as stationary energy storage. Topics addressed included: 🔋 thermal r

The SAF€RA Brokerage Event for the 10th Joint Call  took place online on 12 March 2026 , bringing together researchers, industry representatives, safety professionals and public organisations interested in collaborative research on industrial and occupational safety. The event introduced the objectives and funding modalities of the 10th SAF€RA Joint Call , entitled: “Innovative solutions and technologies to improve safety of workers and emergency responders.” Participants had

The rapid growth of electric vehicles will generate a large volume of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries — creating a significant secondary market for second-life applications. While second-life LIBs offer clear environmental and economic benefits, they also introduce complex safety challenges. Current standards are largely designed for first-life batteries and do not fully reflect the heterogeneous history, ageing behaviour and failure characteristics of repurposed cells and
