Europe has a strong position in the development of advanced materials, but continuous innovation is key to ensure technological sovereignty and strategic autonomy across the lifecycle of advanced materials. On 16 July 2024 the Advanced Materials Initiative 2030 and the Graphene Flagship jointly launched the subscription campaign for the Innovative Advanced Materials Initiative (IAM-I, www.iam-i.eu), the new non-profit Association that will operate the upcoming European co-programmed partnership: Innovative Advanced Materials for Europe (IAM4EU).
The ambition of the partnership, driven by IAM-I, is to establish and maintain a cross-sectorial, multidisciplinary, collaborative Europe-wide Research and Innovation ecosystem that will significantly accelerate the time-to-market of sustainable innovative advanced materials (IAMs) and associated technologies designed for a digital circular economy. IAM-I calls for all stakeholders along industrial value chains and across applications sectors relying on advanced materials to register and participate to this visionary initiative. By joining the Initiative, you will help accelerate Europe’s innovative advanced materials research & technology development, you will help Europe scale up its innovation and manufacturing capacity and you will help Europe to step up the industrial uptake of innovative advanced materials.
Applications can be made through the IAM-I website.
