MatSEEC Mission I : foresight
• Taking account of the existing situation
- Identify Materials Science Engineering priorities and objectives for the period out to 15+ years, for, and in research, infrastructure, capacities, etc.
5
www.esf.org
• Recommend how to achieve the objectives and priorities by means of actions and programmes either by national agencies, or by European organisations such as the European Commission and the European European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures, (ESFRI).

MatSEEC launch - 29-30 October 2009 1010
In progress : preparation of the input on Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) jointly with EMRS to be submitted to the High Level Group established by the European Commission to provide advice on priorities in FP8. The 5 KETs are: Micro and Nanoelectronics Advanced Materials Nanotechnology Photonics Biotechnology

Key enabling technologies
• EU has very good research and development capacities in some key enabling technology areas
• But no so successful in translating research results into commercialised manufactures goods and services
• KETs: systemic relevance for developing new goods, services, restructuring of industrial processes , secure research, development and innovation base in Europe
www.esf.org
Key enabling technologies• Increased focus on innovation: calls for
proposals for the years ahead: should be designed to assure the link between research output and industrial impact
• Increased focus on technology transfer and EU wide supply chains
• Increased focus on joint strategic programming and demonstration projects

Computational Materials Sciences recommendations
MatSEEC launch - 29-30 October 2009 1818
Objectives and prerequisites• European consolidation as part of the general computational science initiatives (LINCEI Forward
Look, PRACE)• Establishment of European home base for computational
materials science (”CMS-CERN”) : CECAM at LausanneScientific outlook • Multiscale modelling• Non-equilibrium systems• Strongly correlated and quantum materials• Metamaterials, programmable and biomimetic materials
www.esf.org
Computational techniques, methods and materials design (WG: R. Nieminen)• MSE: is becoming the
example for simulation based science and engineering:
• (a)Predictive theoretical and computational methods: discovery and design of materials with new functionalities
www.esf.org
• (b)Optimisation of processing routes for materials synthesis and preparation (chemical reaction, annealing, recovery)
• (c)Analysis and interpretation of experimental data
• Key: dramatic advances in methodologies for multi-scale simulations spanning several spatial and temporal scales
www.esf.org
• First principles (quantum mechanical methods: cells with thousands of atoms)
• Mesoscopic simulations (kinetic Monte Carlo and cellular automata methods,
• Macroscopic limit: micromechanical, micromagnetism ect
www.esf.org
Objectives
• European cooperation is crucial: no country large enough to have the needed and deep expertise in the underlying theoretical methods and their computational implementation
• European networking is crucial• Pan-European network in
computational materials science
www.esf.org
Research challenges
• Multiscale materials simulation
• Non-equilibriium properties• Programmable materials• Strongly correlated and
quantum materials
www.esf.org
Computational challenges
• Mathematical methods• Highly parallel computing
platforms• Special purpose processors• Growth of databases: curation
and data mining: integrate data bases with other simulation platforms
www.esf.org
recommendation
• Strong permanent reserach organisation with actives Nodes in several European countries.
• Selection of bottom-up networks with activities in specific topics: code development, reserach training, hands-on workshops
• Funding:national reserach councils
www.esf.org
Electronic structure community• Worldleading in atomic scale
materials research• But integration into a more
materials based approach is lacking
• Cohesion of fragmented activities• More systematic approaches to
verification of simulation results, development of error estimates of computationally predicted properties
www.esf.org
Central recommendations
• CECAM as focal organisation with funding links to national organisations. Better links to experimental efforts, technology transfer to industry needs to be vigorously pursued.
• Code database deveolpments and maintenance, distribution and support: more professional basis
• High level policy unit at CECAM: scientific priorities and advise funding agencies.
www.esf.org
Recommendations
MatSEEC launch - 29-30 October 2009 2828
• Establish CECAM (Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire with headquarters in Lausanne, nodal structure) as the European organisation for computational materials science
• CECAM as host for thematic networks (Psi-k, SimBioMa, MolSimu, etc.)
• European-level programmes as platforms for computational materials science
• Targeted symposia, workshops, cross-disciplinary initiatives
• Professional code development, maintenance and delivery
• Development of tools for data-intensive research and discovery
• Establish a Policy Unit at CECAM as interface to ESF, funding agencies
• Work on implementation plan
www.esf.org
Survey research infrastructures and tools
MatSEEC launch - 29-30 October 2009 2929MPNS 23 February 2010
MatSEEC has prepared a questionnaire to survey Research Infrastructures and equipment used for Materials Science and Engineering in Europe Questionnaire to be addressed to funding organisations and national contacts dealing with funding of RIs in Europe. WG will provide input to the EC project Mapping of European Research Infrastructure Landscape (MERIL) coordinated by the ESF. An inventory of expensive equipment for materials science will also be established
www.esf.org
New funding schemes for collaborative research
MatSEEC launch - 29-30 October 2009 3030MPNS 23 February 2010
WG is focussing on :
Establishing funding instruments for cross-border, bottom-up, basic research
Providing recommendation on the use and improvement of existing instruments (ERA-NETs, EUROCORES, ERC, DACH agreement)
Recognition of Materials Science and Engineering as a field of its own
www.esf.org
Technology and knowledge transfer
MatSEEC launch - 29-30 October 2009 3131MPNS 23 February 2010
The following characteristic issues have been identified which are considered to be essential for a successful technology and knowledge transfer:
• Materials Science and Engineering is an inherent interdisciplinary subject
• Materials Science and Engineering covers a wide range of materials (traditional – engineering – advanced) that are used by very different industries
• New or improved materials are (often) only one part of the value-added chain
• The importance of Materials Science and Engineering for technological or economical success is not that much appreciated in comparison to other subjects.
• Materials scientists and engineers often compete in their academic careers with physicists or chemists resulting in a focus on high ranked publications and much less appreciation of patents and technology and knowledge transfer .

Raise awareness in the media and within the community
