3rd EMMC International Workshop EMMC 2021

About

Materials and our ability to understand and utilise their behaviour play a central role in supporting industrial transformation and delivering against the objectives of the European Green Deal. More than ever, we are aware of supply chain capabilities and opportunities of a digitally connected world.

The EMMC International Workshop has become known as a leading cross-cutting event where stakeholders from different materials modelling-related fields in industry and academia get together to discuss topics of strategic importance and elaborate on gaps and potential actions to move the field forward.

Previous EMMC International Workshops had an approximately 50% participation from industry, benefitting from the opportunity to get a high level overview of key trends in modelling and digitalisation of materials.

Following successful events held in Vienna in 2017 and 2019, the 3rd EMMC International Workshop will take place in a digital format in 2021, while retaining its key element of extended discussion sessions covering the EMMC Focus Areas, Modelling development, Interoperability, Digitalisation, Software, Impact in Industry and Policy. Session outcomes will provide input to future research agendas, and in particular the EMMC Roadmap.

Whether you are a Modeller, Materials Data Scientist, Software Owner, Translator or Industrial R&D Manager, the EMMC International Workshop provides the opportunity to make your voice heard and become informed about future research trends and policies.

EMMC, in collaboration with participants, will produce a workshop-outcomes document based on the discussion sessions of each of the Focus Areas.

Discussion Sessions

The workshop offers the opportunity for in-depth discussions within 12 Sessions organised by the EMMC Focus Areas.

Each Session includes short Impulse talks (10-15 minutes each) plus extended discussions on prepared discussion notes which will form the basis for reporting on Session outcomes.
