M-ERA.NET3

M-ERA.NET is a large EU-funded network established in 2012 to support the coordination of European research programmes and related funding in materials research and to contribute to the restructuring of the European Research Area (ERA) by operating a single innovative and flexible network of national and regional funding organisations. Between 2016 and 2021, the enlarged EU-cofunded M-ERA.NET2 continued to tackle materials research challenges, covering innovative surfaces, coatings, composites, additive manufacturing, integrated materials modelling and materials for health. From 2021 to 2026, the EU-cofunded M-ERA.NET3 will highlight emerging technologies and innovative applications like future batteries. Joint network activities will be guided by relevant EU action plans such as the Circular Economy Action Plan, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the European Commission communication ‘A clean planet for all’, and the European Green Deal.
