EuMaT European Technology Platform for Advanced Engineering Materials and Technologies EuMaT Workshop Elements Industrial Technology Conference 2012 Aarhus 19-21 June 2012 EuMaT European Technology Platform for Advanced Engineering Materials and Technologies A 4 M – The concept EuMaTSuschemManufutureFTCESTEPSMR o The original initiators of A 4 M initiative are six European Technology Platforms with a strong material agenda in their respective strategies. These are: EuMaT, Suschem, Manufuture, FTC, ESTEP, SMR o Among the fundamental concepts of A 4 M is the Value Chain concept. It is regarded as the key element driving the expected synergy through a common path which integrates actors, resources and strategies from the fundamental aspects of materials science up to the industrial system which produce and/or transform the materials in valuable products, acting as driver of the final innovation processes

10. EuMaT European Technology Platform for Advanced Engineering Materials and Technologies EuMaT Workshop Elements Industrial Technology Conference 2012 Aarhus 19-21 June 2012 EuMaT European Technology Platform for Advanced Engineering Materials and Technologies A 4 M – The concept o Even if the related industries belonging to A 4 M will have competitive activities the A 4 M group regards the complementary aspects of higher importance: the collaboration impact is stronger than the sum of the individual contributions o A 4 M intends to contribute and to provide an effective answer to this coordination need, in the frame of the present and future European research and innovation programme and initiatives This integration will contribute to overcome some limitations existing in the today research and innovation programmes still mostly sectorial driven

11. EuMaT European Technology Platform for Advanced Engineering Materials and Technologies EuMaT Workshop Elements Industrial Technology Conference 2012 Aarhus 19-21 June 2012 EuMaT European Technology Platform for Advanced Engineering Materials and Technologies A 4 M – The concept o to contribute to create the conditions for an effective integration of stakeholders, views and resources in the field of Materials R&D at EU dimension  Stakeholders: any subject/system directly or indirectly involved in the process of increasing knowledge on materials, producing materials, processing and/or transforming materials, using materials and any form of their aggregation (i.e. ETPs)  Views: any technological, industrial, commercial strategy which deal with materials R&D and/or count on that  Resources: any programme, initiative or financial tools, at national or EU level, able to support the R&D and innovation processes in the field of Materials R&D o A 4 M does not act on behalf of the single ETPs. These lasts remain totally independent on their decision making action

Definitively not! other related sectors systems/organisations A gradual involvement of different ETPs and other related sectors systems/organisations, within a specific VC, is mandatory for an effective implementation of the A 4 M strategy

19. EuMaT European Technology Platform for Advanced Engineering Materials and Technologies EuMaT Workshop Elements Industrial Technology Conference 2012 Aarhus 19-21 June 2012 EuMaT European Technology Platform for Advanced Engineering Materials and Technologies Conclusions European Technology Platforms bridging Industrial Research  The European Technology Platforms have been and are still today a value for bridging Industrial and Research communities in the EU research policy complexchallengingHorizon 2020 coordination  In a complex and challenging environment as Horizon 2020 seem to be, coordination is need for any relevant crosscutting actions as Materials research is ResearchInnovation Value Chain  the radical change of H2020 toward a programme where Research and Innovation as regarded as an unicum, asks for a robust and genuine approach based on Value Chain concept (Integration of players and efforts and resources along the VC) Materials research coordination  A 4 M is a bottom approach to valorise the already existing dialogue between the main ETPs involved in Materials research and intends to create the conditions for the best coordination among players ETPs clustering value together rolescharacteristics  Innovation passes through ETPs clustering as a way for bringing value together, while maintaining the respective roles and characteristics. This is the A 4 M way for contributing to the best implementation of actions and use of resources in Materials Research for Horizon 2020
