MATERA

ERA-NET Materials

Basic Information

Description

The main target of this ERA-NET Materials project is to create a durable cooperation platform for policy makers and managers having strategic activities on materials science and engineering in Europe. This platform aims to help national and regional science and technology authorities to effective diffusion and transfer of knowledge and skills obtained from research academia for the utilisation in business and industrial enterprises. This way the ERA-NET Materials project will intensify the innovation chain activities for the benefits of society and business life in Europe. The project will increase stepwise ambitious programme-type collaboration between European countries and regions in the field of materials science and engineering to deepen the European Research Area. In a long term, it will strengthen new innovative material related expertise and its utilisation in European business life and industry. The project will also help the national and regional decision makers to intensify their policy making operations. As a result of this ERA-NET project joint trans-national activities on material science and engineering will be lauched.
