Advanced materials modelling and characterisation (RIA)

Proposals should:

• Develop a relevant range of characterisation methods, models and simulation tools to enhance the design – with clear demonstration of modelling and characterisation integration – and development stages of advanced materials and products, focusing on user cases related to low carbon and clean industry applications;
• Coordinate efforts towards data documentation, exchange procedures and ontologies that can aid the traceability, integrity and interoperability of data in line with Industry Commons and FAIR data principles;
• Seek the involvement of standardisation bodies for the development of standards, test guidance or guidance documents;
• Focus on the combination of theory with large-scale computational screening (e.g. Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning);
• Facilitate the re-use of existing research results on modelling and characterisation, as well as the uptake of new project results;
• Projects should contribute to the objectives of the European Materials Characterisation Council (EMCC) and European Materials Modelling Council (EMMC) and foresee the necessary resources to this effect.
