Announcement
EMMC 2027, part of the biennial EMMC International Workshop series, will take place in Leuven, Belgium, from 20–22 April 2027
Hosted at the historic Irish College Leuven (Belgium), the workshop will bring together leading researchers, industrial innovators, data scientists, software developers, and policy experts to explore the future of materials research.
The 2027 theme, “Materials Research in Transition”, will be examined across six half‑day sessions, each addressing a major transformation shaping the field:
- Modelling – from physics‑based simulation to AI‑enabled materials models
- Workflows – from connected research workflows to autonomous discovery
- Data – from fragmented datasets to connected materials knowledge
- Software – building and sustaining materials science software in the age of AI
- Industrial Innovation Ecosystems – transformations in the industrial materials R&D ecosystem
- Policy & Governance – frameworks for sustainable digital materials research infrastructures
The workshop will offer keynotes, expert panels, interactive discussions, poster sessions and a hackathon.
Further details and a call for contributions to follow.
