InnoMatSyn Launches Website to Support Advanced/Innovative Materials Initiatives

Advanced/innovative materials (“AdMa”) are described by the European Union as “engineered materials with innovative properties and functionalities”¹ with the objective to achieve specific or improved functional performance.²  AdMa are proving to be game changers in areas from energy to mobility to health. The EU-funded project InnoMatSyn is bringing together AdMa-experts across Europe and has recently launched its website, informing stakeholders and the general public about the project ambitions, as well as providing the opportunity for stakeholders to take an active role and engage in the AdMa ecosystem.

Coordinated by BioNanoNet Forschungsgesellschaft mbH (BNN) with 14 beneficiaries, InnoMatSyn seeks to create synergies of regional, national and European initiatives for AdMa to boost their impact, in support of the development of safe and sustainable materials. The consortium receives 4 million Euros in EC-funding to execute the project within the next 3 years.

The project will provide an interconnected materials ecosystem, AI-based knowledge repository, technology leakage risk assessment, and support for joint funding calls. As of the launch of the project, InnoMatSyn has received a great deal of support from stakeholders from all over Europe.

InnoMatSyn has set the following objectives:  

• Synergetic connecting of regional, national and European (funding) initiatives (e.g.: s3, ERA.NETs, national funding bodies, partnerships, EITs, etc.) in the field of “Advanced/Innovative Materials”

• Development of technology leakage risks assessment guidelines and implementation support for member states

• Development of knowledge about competences, projects (calls, results), publications, Materials Commons, etc., and knowledge transfer

• Development of a sustainable European Research-, Development- and Innovation-Ecosystem in the field of Advanced/Innovative Materials

Project coordinator Andreas Falk of BNN is calling on all stakeholders active in the AdMa environment (e.g. scientists and researchers, funding organisations, financing agencies, companies, technology platforms, etc.) to get directly involved and take the first step by registering as an AdMa stakeholder on the innomatsyn.eu website under “Contact”. Together with the InnoMatSyn consortium, a large number of innovative initiatives can be realised.
