R&D priorities in advanced engineering materials and technologies

Abstract

EuMaT – European Technology Platform for Advanced Engineering Materials and Technologies has been launched in order to assure optimal involvement of industry and other important stakeholders in the process of establishing of R&D priorities in the area of advanced engineering materials and technologies. EuMaT should improve coherence in existing and forthcoming EU projects, in the field of materials R&D.EuMaT covers all elements of the life cycle of an industrial product, regardless if it is a component, a system or a final good:design, development & qualification of advanced material advanced production, processing and manufacturing material and component testing material selection and optimization advanced modelling on all scales databases and supporting analytical tools life cycle considerations, including impacts, decommissioning, reliability, hazards, risks and recyclability
