4. OBJECTIVES
to create a vehicle for strong scientific cooperation in the field of advanced materials and structures
to coordinate research efforts of the network members by jointly generating, executing and monitoring interdisciplinary research projects (e.g. IPs, STREPs)
to benefit from network members' complementarity in expertise ranging from microstructure investigations of advanced materials to structural analysis and design
to share research facilities (experimental and numerical) of network members
to establish interaction with manufacturers of advanced materials and get feedback from them as a stimulus for new research projects
to avoid "double-research "
to disseminate accumulated knowledge (education, promotion, conferences, publishing)
