Dear readers,

This edition of the THOR Newsletter highlights a year of progress, driven by scientific advances, strong collaboration, and growing visibility across the European battery innovation landscape.

Following earlier milestone, including the first peer-reviewed publication, consortium meetings, and TwinBATT cluster activities, THOR continues to build momentum. Most recently, the first article authored by THOR partners was published in Innovation News Network, showcasing the project’s work on predictive digital twins and advanced battery modelling.

Also, THOR and the TwinBATT Cluster shared insights on digital battery testing and AI-powered development at Battery Innovation Days, while consortium partners met in Grenoble for the General Assembly, hosted by CEA. The year also closed with the release of the TwinBATT video booster, presenting the collaboration between THOR, FASTEST, AccCellBat and DigiBatt.

Looking ahead, THOR will participate in the 9th RTR Conference in Brussels (10–12 February 2026), presenting its Digital Twin approach to accelerating battery development and reducing physical testing.

THOR is ready to move forward with exciting updates. Follow us on Mastodon and LinkedIn for the latest results.

Warm regards,
The THOR Project Team

The THOR Consortium outlines in an article how predictive digital twins can speed up battery development, enhance performance optimisation, and improve safety validation.

THOR has been invited to take part in the 9th Conference on Results from Road Transport Research, which will be held in Brussels from 10 to 12 February 2026 and is expected to bring together more than 500 participants from across Europe.

The TwinBATT Cluster has released a new video presenting the collaboration and its partner projects. Bringing together four EU-funded initiatives, THOR,  FASTEST, AccCellBat and DigiBatt, TwinBATT aims to transform the way batteries are designed, tested and validated.
