The EERA Energy Materials for Innovation (EM4I) initiative timely reflected on the importance of bringing materials science to the forefront of Europe’s energy research landscape if we are to achieve the net-zero objective. Through a series of technical workshops organised between 2021 and 2022, EM4I identified materials science approaches that are cross-cutting through various energy applications.

In parallel, the Advanced Materials Manifesto was issued in February 2022. It puts forward leading-edge materials science approaches of application in a very wide number of markets, towards innovation. The subsequent Advanced Materials 2030 Initiative (AMI2030) has been later working at a roadmap and is now working at a governance plan and a Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) for advanced materials in Horizon Europe.

Given the common objective of ensuring that materials research is addressed in Europe in a comprehensive and consistent way to promote innovation in several fields (including energy), EERA EM4I and AMI2030 are jointly organising an online workshop to be held with the following schedule:

• 13 March 2023 - 14:00 to 18:00 CET          
• 14 March 2023 - 09:00 to 13:00 CET
