Newsletter Issue 4 is out!

07.07.2026

We are pleased to share the latest edition of the MAGELLAN project newsletter, presenting new updates on our research work and consortium activities as our project moves towards its final implementation phase.

In this issue:

✅ Read about MAGELLAN’s progress in producing high performance permanent magnets with recycled content for Electric Vehicle Traction Motors.

✅ Discover the latest advances in near-net-shape magnet manufacturing through Powder Injection Moulding, as well as ongoing work on Cerium substitution to reduce reliance on critical rare earth elements.

✅ Learn how the project is progressing towards motor-level validation, with simulations, optimised rotor designs and preparations for demonstrator activities.

✅ Explore updates on dismantling protocols, de-coating routes, recovery processes that are strengthening the upstream foundations of MAGELLAN’s circular value chain.

✅ Find out more about the project’s responsible sourcing and sustainability guidelines, and the ongoing LCA/LCC work assessing the environmental and economic performance of the MAGELLAN solution.

✅ Catch up on the latest Rare Earth Roundtable sessions, covering life cycle assessment, RESourceEU, and technologies for collection, dismantling and recovery of permanent magnets from end-of-life products.

✅ See how MAGELLAN has been represented across major conferences, and industry-oriented events, including EoLIS, the Deeptech Forum, INTERMAG 2026, CWIEME Berlin, E-Waste World Expo and VivaTech 2026.
