Materials Week 2024
On June 18-22, Materials Week 2024 conference have brought together – for the first time – the numerous small and large Research and Innovation communities that are driving advances in materials innovation manifested across diverse value chains and industrial markets. DigiPass consortium have organized a session Digital Innovation - Catalyzing the green & digital transition for innovative advanced materials and products leveraged by the EU DigiPass coordination action. The main objective of the session is to initiate collaboration among different ongoing EU-wide and national projects and initiatives focused on digitalisation of IAM´s development and manufacturing. The session aims to foster homogenisation and standardisation within the IAM ecosystem as a necessity for the introduction and utilisation of open innovation processes and Digital Materials and Product Passports (DMP, DPP) for a diverse range of industrial applications. Specific objectives of the session are to delve into the needs, requirements, and challenges pertaining to:
• Requirements on an EU-wide federated digital platform supporting DMP/DPP utilization and to
facilitate the design and manufacturing of IAMs.
• Identification of common themes and scientific/ technical interests shared among ongoing EU
projects that align with the objectives and vision of the DigiPass CSA initiative.
• preparation of an initial action plan on the collaboration of DigiPass and related projects and initiatives. The session was scheduled on the first day of the conference, June 18, and included contributions of around 30 ongoing EU- project s and national initiatives. A talk from Victoria Petrova( Seconded Head of Unit, HADEA) on Funding Opportunities for Advanced Materials Development Communities and a lecture of Wide Hogenout and Sophia Fantechi (DG RTD E3 – Industrial Transformation) were provided to open the session.
A Fishbowl discussion finalized the session bringing 24 EU-projects and national initiatives to brainstorming on important questions related to DigiPass Objectives. Representatives from the DigiPass consortium have participated to the conference to discuss with academic, research and
industrial stakeholders and policy makers about the project goals and prospects. These include F. Pirker, S. Belouettar, N. Konchakova and
P. Klein. Moreover, the consortium partners discussed with EMMC and EMCC members, members of SSbD and
advanced materials modeling & haracterization projects the cooperation possibilities and ways.
