1 European Energy Materials Development Platform Awareness Building

2 STRUCTURES FOR MATERIAL RESEARCH IN HORIZON EUROPE What do we want? How could a larger material researcher community benefit from missions? Could we get may be 2 or three missions or is it possible to have one mission integrating all our research efforts? What kind of other structural funding schemes could we further think of? How to raise the awareness of member states? Should we push for a SET-PLAN Implementation working group? Missions should have innovative potentials. Missions need to interesting for the public. If we want to be successful, we need to team up and build an interesting concept in 1, 2 or 3 years from now.

3 Autonomous Material Development Platform (AMDP)

4 TARGET : COST REDUCTION FOR CLEAN ENERGY DEVICES Material cost share is > 50% for many energy technologies Industry 4.0 and large scale production will reduce the costs for energy devices Long-term job security by highly specialized products, which are realized in small and medium charges by Industry 4.0 production processes In general higher performing materials enable access to larger markets Study on battery costs : ( MOBI Research Group, Vrije Universiteit Brussel,2017) Cathode: Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC) Anode : Silicon alloy intended to be state of the art in years from now

5 GENERAL IDEA Costs reduction by modern AI and High Throughput robotic technologies Costs reduction by sample centric approaches

6 ENABLER : BIG DATA Specialized data cloud: HPC, HP-network Meso-scaling techniques ( data mining, AI) Big data technologies will enable energy systems management This figure comes from Reizman, Bandon, J.; Jensen, K. F. Acct. Chem. Res. 2016, 49 (9), pp

7 2016 : SYSTEMS ARE UP AND GROWING Virtual characterisation of new materials : HPC software requirements are investigated Infrastructure optimisation Indication for large acceleration of materials development. Target is to present a small sub-set of user cases where scientists utilize BEAM across for broad range of analytical techniques and analysis modes. This figure comes from Reizman, Bandon, J.; Jensen, K. F. Acct. Chem. Res. 2016, 49 (9), pp

23 HORIZON EUROPE (HE) POSSIBILITIES The upcoming FET-Flagships will be implemented as HE Mission Funding will be taken from the pillar global challenges ( overall budget 52b ) Missions will be implemented as co-funding actions ( like European Technology Platform with funding support from EU and member states ) European Strategic Research Infrastructure ( ESFRI) - next list will be discussed in 2-3 years from now - but the idea needs some preparation to be successful FP9 will support research infrastructure activities: - efforts to develop new infrastructures - establishing an European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), open data (as a scalable and sustainable environment for data-driven research;) For the Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) in part: SDG 7 Affordable and Clean Energy; SDG 9 Industry Innovation and Infrastructure

24 DISTRIBUTED EUROPEAN RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES EMBRC - European Marine Biological Resource Centre The EMBRC is a distributed RI aiming at providing a strategic delivery mechanism for excellent and large-scale marine science. EMBRC offers services to users from academia, industry, technology and education in all sectors in the fields of marine biology and ecology, particularly supporting the development of blue biotechnologies. EMPHASIS European Infrastructure for multi-scale Plant Phenomics and Simulation for food security in a changing climate

25 EUROPEAN ENERGY MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM Europe has already elements of a materials development platform, But a systematic approach for setting up an automised platform is not available. What do we need to coordinate our efforts better for speeding up materials development? - Mission ( Affordable Clean Energy ) - ESFRI infrastructure How could we mobilise our resources? Should we aim to set up a platform roadmap? Request, if you are aware of facilities or installation as presented, please let me know! ( holger.ihssen@helmholtz.de )
