Accelerating innovation in advanced materials and ensuring sustainability requires a step-change not only in materials research techniques such as advanced modelling and characterisation methods, but also in bringing together expertise and information (data with meaning) that meets the highly complex decisions that underly the innovation process and materials life cycle. Required are much improved, FAIR data integration, trust and transparency, fast, reliable and traceable decision systems, as well as sophisticated models.
The EMMC 2025 International Workshop will discuss advances and future directions in how both accelerated innovation and sustainability are supported by a Knowledge Ecosystem based on materials modelling and data integration.
The workshop will discuss these points from different perspectives including
The EMMC International Workshop is a leading, cross-cutting event where stakeholders from different materials & digital 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 more than a third of participants coming from industry, benefitting from the opportunity to get a high level overview of key trends.
EMMC 2025 will again be located in central Vienna, in the main building of TU Wien. It will feature high-level plenaries from leading experts in industry and academia, discussion sessions stimulated by invited “Impulse” talks, and contributed posters with short presentations in each session.
