The DPP4EU Conference, organized in honor of Professor Heinz Preisig, brings together experts to discuss digital product passports, life cycle analysis, and advanced battery materials. The event highlights key contributions from Battery 2030+–related projects, including BatCAT, FULL‑MAP, and SAFELOOP, which will present their work on battery data, sustainability, and digital infrastructures supporting the future EU Batteries Regulation.
The DPP4EU Conference is organized in honor of Professor Heinz Preisig.
Professor Heinz Preisig is a systems engineer and researcher active in the field of digital engineering, data-driven industrial systems, and semantic interoperability for complex value chains. His work focuses on bridging formal modeling approaches with practical industrial applications, particularly in the context of digital transformation and data-centric infrastructures.
He has contributed to initiatives related to Digital Product Passports (DPP), with an emphasis on interoperability frameworks, asset-based information modeling, and the integration of heterogeneous data systems across industrial ecosystems. Through his involvement in collaborative research and standardization efforts, he has supported the development of approaches that enable more structured, machine-actionable product and lifecycle data.Within the DPP4EU and DigiPass context, he is recognized for his contributions to advancing scalable architectures that connect engineering models with semantic web technologies, helping to align technical implementation with emerging European requirements for circular economy data infrastructures
Satellite Meeting Battery Passport
The themes of the conference, in particular life cycle analysis and the digital materials and product passport, will be discussed for advanced materials in batteries and the relation between the data and metadata documentation required for these materials and the DPP for batteries as specified in the Batteries Regulation. This session is organized by the HEur projects BatCAT (HEur GA no. 101137725), FULL-MAP (GA no. 101192848), SAFELOOP (GA no. 101147342), and SALAMANDER (GA no. 101104028); these projects are related to Battery2030+ CSA3 (GA no. 101104022), the BATT4EU partnership, and the Batteries European Partnership Association (BEPA). The projects related technical challenges and general aspects of battery passport, LCA available data and advanced battery materials investigation will be discussed at this meeting. Contributions from the EU- and National- funded projects working on battery passport and novel materials for battery are very welcome. A summary of the session will be published as a white paper.
