Abstract

EU Policy landscape in Materials & Digitalisation

This is a crucial moment in which the last years of the EU's flagship research and innovation
program Horizon Europe are being strategically planned while a bunch of policy initiatives that
rely on R&I are being published.

The renewed urgency for EU strategic autonomy has brought the relevance of materials
research back to the scene, intertwined with the digital and green transition.

An overview of the most recent initiatives that shape the Materials and Digitalisation research
needs will be presented.
