Description
The studies cover:
- production and use of advanced materials in Europe, including competitiveness, innovation, sustainability, and global position
- patent analysis, examining how advanced materials are protected, managed and commercialised in Europe compared with the global landscape
- mapping and analysis of research and technology infrastructures, including available services, business models, collaboration gaps, and recommendations to improve access and coordination
The draft agenda includes presentations of the three studies, opportunities for Q&A, and a panel discussion chaired by the European Commission.
A networking lunch will follow the formal session.
We encourage all interested stakeholders to register and join the discussion on the future of the EU advanced materials ecosystem.
