1.3.3. Broad lines of the activities

Research on materials by design, functional materials, multifunctional materials with higher knowledge content, new functionalities and improved performance, and structural materials for innovation in all industrial sectors, including the creative industries. Research and development to ensure efficient, safe and sustainable development and scale-up to enable industrial manufacturing of future design-based products towards a "no-waste" management of materials in Europe. Research and development for new and innovative techniques for materials and their components and systems. Developing new products and applications, business models and responsible consumer behaviour that reduce energy demand and facilitate low-carbon production. Applying design and the development of converging technologies to create new business opportunities, including the preservation and restoration of materials with historical or cultural value, as well as novel materials. Promoting technologies such as characterisation, non-destructive evaluation, continuous assessing and monitoring and predictive modelling of performance for progress and impact in materials science and engineering. Research and development to investigate substitution and alternatives to the use of materials and innovative business model approaches and identification of critical resources.
