About BaTT Forum
The Batteries Teachers & Trainers Forum (BaTT Forum) initiative was launched by the Alliance for Batteries Technology, Training and Skills (ALBATTS), an EU Erasmus+ co-funded project. It is now funded and further developed through the CaBatt (Capacity Building for Battery Teachers in Vocational Education and Training) Erasmus funded project (2023-1-FI01-KA220-VET-000160282) to develop Erasmus+ courses for VET teachers that are open to all and eligible for the VET schools own Erasmus+ mobility funding. The BaTT Forum aims to gather current and future teachers and trainers to share ideas and good practices, work together and deepen their knowledge about the battery sector.
The CaBatt project is a collaboration between Vamia (Finland), Skellefteå kommun (Sweden), Fagskulen Vestland (Norway), ATEC (Portugal) and VSB TUO (Czech Republic).
