Advanced materials are a key part to almost every innovation. Advanced materials are addressed in nearly every Horizon Europe cluster, mission, or activity. Hence the need for cross-silo, cross-cluster materials research. The Strategic Planning phase plays an outstanding role in designing the future governance of Materials R&I in H-EU. Paradigms as co-creation, impact, problem solving, inclusion will be relevant drivers to be addressed. It is time to start now to reflect among the Materials Community how to contribute to this exercise: A Round table with COM- and “Alliance for Materials, A4M” representatives.

Potential participants are invited to send their intentions
by e-mail to Dr. Winfried Keiper
