EuMaT – The European Technology Platform for Advanced Engineering Materials and Technologies has been launched in order to assure optimal involvement of industry and other important stakeholders in the process of establishing of R&D priorities in the area of advanced engineering materials and technologies. EuMaT should improve coherence in existing and forthcoming EU projects, in the field of materials R&D.
EuMaT covers all elements of the life cycle of an industrial product, be it a component, a system or a final goods:
design, development & qualification of advanced material
advanced production, processing and manufacturing
material and component testing
material selection and optimization
advanced modelling on all scales
databases and supporting analytical tools
life cycle considerations, including impacts, decommissioning,
reliability, hazards, risks and recyclability
