Advanced materials are designed to give enhanced performance over conventional materials and are essential to our modern way of life. Advanced materials are crucial to innovation and industrial leadership in many sectors including energy, electronics, transportation and healthcare.

New technologies like Artificial intelligence (AI) and Digital Twins can enable innovation, supporting the development, production and deployment of materials that are both safe and sustainable.

Drawing on recent work in the European Scientific Advice Mechanism, our expert panel will set out the opportunities of AI and other digital technologies in transforming innovation in Advanced Materials. We will discuss what is needed in terms of
providing the necessary infrastructure, high-quality data, standards and governance.

Join us for this interactive webinar, which is free and open to all. The webinar is organized by SAPEA, which is a part of the The Scientific Advice Mechanism to the European Commission.

About The Scientific Advice Mechanism #

The Scientific Advice Mechanism provides independent scientific evidence and policy recommendations to the European institutions by request of the College of Commissioners. It includes the Science Advice for Policy by European Academies (SAPEA) consortium, which gathers expertise from more than 100 institutions across Europe, and the Group of Chief Scientific Advisors (GSCA), who provide independent guidance informed by the evidence.
