Three priorities of data-driven development of advanced materials: Generate, Dcoument, Access and interrogate data and knowledge

Materials 2030 Roadmap draft published

A wide range of stakeholders in Europe are elaborating a roadmap for “a strong European Materials ecosystem driving the green and digital transition”. We are pleased to have contributed together with EMMC to Part I – Advanced materials – from vision to mission and action and the cross-cutting challenges. In particular, the roadmap proposes future actions to accelerate digitalisation of materials and product innovation highlighting three priorities:
1) Generating new data and knowledge: Develop digital and innovative methodologies for generating materials data and knowledge, including modelling, characterisation, production and testing technologies
2) Documenting data and knowledge: Develop and disseminate a common (standardized) language (ontology) for data exchange and knowledge management
3) Accessing and interogating data and knowledge: Provide reliable and easy access to and interrogation of generated data/information/knowledge
for all stakeholders
.

Goldbeck Consulting is involved in a range of projects supporting these actions, in particular in the areas of modelling, characterisation and ontologies.

Open Innovation Environments and their Importance in Materials Modelling and Materials Characterisation

Together with partners from the European H2020 OYSTER Open Innovation Environment (OIE) project, we put together a White Paper with some historical context to the development of Open Innovation and make the case that OIE and similar platform technologies are key enablers of open innovation in complex research fields such as materials science. They provide possibilities for participating in a wider Innovation Network Ecosystem involving all stakeholders from citizen to corporation. Thanks to Cambridge Nanomaterials Technology for their contribution.
