Summary
The future of European industrial manufacturing requires further advances in characterisation methods and computational modelling, in order to lead the way to the reliable design of new and sustainable materials and processes, rapid upscaling, and effective quality control. These advances can only be achieved through the development of innovative techniques and a new generation of instrumentation, responding to industrial needs.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should:
- Develop a relevant range of characterisation methods, models and simulation tools to enhance the design – with clear demonstration of modelling and characterisation integration – and development stages of advanced materials and products, focusing on user cases related to low carbon and clean industry applications;
- Coordinate efforts towards data documentation, exchange procedures and ontologies that can aid the traceability, integrity and interoperability of data in line with Industry Commons and FAIR data principles;
- Seek the involvement of standardisation bodies for the development of standards, test guidance or guidance documents;
- Focus on the combination of theory with large-scale computational screening (e.g. Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning);
- Facilitate the re-use of existing research results on modelling and characterisation, as well as the uptake of new project results;
- Projects should contribute to the objectives of the European Materials Characterisation Council (EMCC) and European Materials Modelling Council (EMMC) and foresee the necessary resources to this effect.
