PESSAC, France, November 28, 2025 – The HighMag project consortium successfully held its General Assembly Meeting on Thursday, November 27th. The assembly brought partners from across Europe and Israel together to take rigorous stock of technical progress and align strategies for the next critical phase of advancing Reversible Magnesium Battery (RMB) technology.
The day concluded with firm consensus on the project’s technical roadmap, ensuring the consortium remains fully aligned on the strategy to move the Mg-based battery solution toward the validated prototype stage at TRL 4.
The intense agenda focused heavily on establishing the technical foundation and ensuring alignment across all project work. Morning sessions reviewed the initial experimental results in core component areas, including Cathode Materials and Electrolytes & Separators. The focus then shifted to the initial design phases of Magnesium-based Powder Anodes, where partners defined key parameters for future manufacturability and scale-up.
Following this, the team presented their initial methodologies for data collection and advanced testing plans, and reviewed the strategy for integrating Sustainability Assessments (SSbD, TEA, & Recycling) into the project’s design framework. The final sessions provided an update on the project’s Communication and Dissemination efforts, concluding with a strategic outline for translating the research plan into tangible market impact and enhancing external stakeholder engagement.
Collaboration Fuels Future Progress
A dedicated segment for cross-WP Technical Discussions proved highly valuable, serving to collectively troubleshoot immediate scientific challenges and streamline methodologies for the coming work period.
The successful Assembly concluded with a Lab Tour and Working Dinner, which reinforced the consortium’s unified commitment to the project’s long-term goals. This successful meeting marks an important step in validating HighMag’s approach to delivering a sustainable, secure, and competitive post-lithium-ion solution for the European energy landscape.
