EMMC Objectives
EMMC will pursue the following overarching objectives in order to establish and strengthen the
underpinning foundations of materials modelling in Europe and bridge the gap between academic
innovation and industrial application.
Five main objectives:
➢ Enhance the interaction and collaboration between all stakeholders engaged in different types
of materials modelling, including modellers, software owners, translators and manufacturers.
➢ Facilitate integrated materials modelling in Europe building on strong and coherent foundations.
➢ Coordinate and support actors and mechanisms that enable rapid transfer of materials
modelling from academic innovation to the end users and potential beneficiaries in industry.
➢ Achieve greater awareness and uptake of materials modelling in industry, in particular SMEs.
➢ Elaborate Roadmaps that (i) identify major obstacles to widening the use of materials modelling
in European industry and (ii) elaborate strategies to overcome them.

The overall approach
The EMMC has identified a number of core activities that are vital to increase the industrial exploitation
of materials modelling in Europe. These activities are structured into three main pillars on which the
advancement of European Industry rests on:
•
•
•
Underpinning Foundations: Stronger, more
robust, better validated and more versatile
materials modelling foundations.
Enabling Transfer Platform: Designing the
systems and mechanisms to transfer
materials modelling to a range of industries.
Integrated
Materials
Development:
Facilitating a more holistic materials
development targeted at achieving tangible
impact in different industrial applications.
The main approach of the EMMC is to establish and enforce these actions by undertaking
coordination and support actions.
