Alongside submitting its opinion to the Call for Evidence for the Advanced Materials Act, the NIA has been actively engaged in activities supporting Europe’s broader advanced materials strategy. In January, the NIA participated in two key meetings to present its views.
The first meeting focused on the Study on the Uptake of Advanced Materials, particularly the landscape of research and technology infrastructures in this field. The second involved providing feedback on the Scientific Opinion on “Advanced Materials” by the Group of the Chief Scientific Advisors (GCSA). In both discussions, the NIA drew on its experience in nanomaterials to highlight barriers that must be addressed to successfully implement the advanced materials strategy and strengthen Europe’s industrial base.
