On 14th December 2010 the ‘Material Letter’ was sent to the Commissioners: Máire Geoghegan-Quinn and Antonio Tajani


A4M – the beginning



EuM EuM aTaT

The objectives and vision of EUMat: Innovative use of existing materials based on good understanding of applications, material requirements and materials degradations mechanisms

Development of entirely new materials or materials groups (nanomaterials, active/intelligent materials, composites, hybrid and multimaterial structures etc.)

Breakthrough

Modification of existing materials to fit better for applications (new grades for existing materials systems, possibly new manufacturing processes)


EUMat – the initiator of A4M

EuMaT – the structure



EuM EuM aTaT

 Six European Technology Platforms with a strong material agenda in their respective strategies.

 Value Chain Concept transforming the materials in valuable products

 Materials R&D as a crosscutting and enabling technology

 Effective coordination and integration of the different interests and strategies

 Improvement of Innovation Speed and implementation in Europe addressing the Grand Societal Challenges.


A4M – the concept



EuM EuM aTaT

 Creating the conditions for an effective integration of the stakeholders in the field of materials R&D

 Creating the views for technical, industrial and commercial strategies for new materials

 Creating support by programmes, initiatives or financial tools, at national or EU level to support the R&D and innovation process.

 Acting totally independent in their decision processes and not on the behalf of the single ETP’s.

 Acting as an discussion and sharing point for all material initiatives


A4M - Vision and objectives



EuM EuM aTaT

– key elements  Including all six ETPs directly related to materials science, technology, production, transformation as a “core of A4M“

 Including other ETPs which have evident links to the materials related aspects [ETPIS, PV, ENIAC, ARTEMIS, NanoMed, etc..] L1

 Including the industrial sectors with the final transformers of materials, and/or the end users [ACARE, ERTRAC, ERRAC, ZEP, ECTP,

The gradual involvement of different ETPs and related sectors systems / organisations is mandatory for an effective implementation of the A4M strategy
