Materials Commons for Europe

Funds a single project to build a Europe-wide federated digital infrastructure connecting national labs, data and AI tools for advanced-materials research.

ClosedEuropean CommissionEU

Materials Commons for Europe is a European Commission project that funds a single beneficiary the full EUR 28,000,000 to build a Europe-wide federated digital infrastructure connecting national labs, data and AI tools for advanced-materials research, giving researchers from industry and academia shared access to interoperable, FAIR data sources, computational tools and High-Performance Computing. …

The call wants a pioneering federated digital infrastructure that interconnects national and regional advanced-materials research infrastructures across the EU, giving researchers from industry and academia shared access to interoperable, FAIR data sources, computational tools and High-Performance Computing. It targets self-driving labs and AI-assisted materials design, aiming to speed up the design, development, characterisation and testing of new advanced materials.
