Abstract

Needs for future actions in advanced materials

Advance materials have undoubtedly magical superpower to make our life better, they simply mean humanity progress. They are becoming a major research priority for achieving circularity and sustainability. This also brings many challenges and needs for immediate actions, such as building R&I ecosystem on advanced materials, development of technology transfer to industry, finding the right talents as well as development of digital technologies.

To help achieving the above mentioned, the Commission is preparing a coordinated plan on advanced materials (2030 to 2050 perspective) and consider further involvement of hubs for circularity and SSbD framework.
