MateriNex Innovation Topics
In consultation with industrial and academic stakeholders, three innovation topics were selected for the launch of MateriNex. These topics align with both the EU research agenda and Flemish policy priorities. A roadmap has been created for each of these innovation themes to provide a framework for elaborating and assessing project proposals. Each roadmap contains a limited number of application domains and several common "transversal" challenges related to digitalization and "safe and sustainable by design" (including circularity).
The innovation topics and their corresponding roadmaps with application domains are:
- materials for battery technology (mobility and storage)
- materials for building and construction (low-carbon construction and resource efficiency)
- strategic and critical raw materials (ensuring supply, sustainable and circular value chains)
MateriNex as facilitator
MateriNex will assume a facilitating role mainly in terms of project genesis and dissemination of results. To this end, MateriNex has earmarked project funds at the Fund for Innovation and Entrepreneurship for cSBO and ICON projects, including feasibility studies. As materials research is often complementary with respect to application-oriented research, cooperation with the spearhead clusters is an obvious option.
For broad dissemination, MateriNex will cooperate with various stakeholder organisations, including the collective centres and the spearhead clusters. Regular consultations will take place with academia. Ideas for innovations will be jointly proposed to the stakeholder group.
