English abstract:
The EMMC Roadmap defines a path forward for materials modelling and digitalisation of materials
sciences. It is the culmination of five years of knowledge‐ and experience‐gathering, by the EMMC, on
the needs of European materials industry in the modelling field. The EMMC Roadmap acknowledges
the significant progress that has been made over the past years, but equally identifies gaps, and
provides direction for achieving the ultimate vision of: Having an agile European materials industry
with intelligent enterprises that maximise and integrate the utility of digital materials sciences
knowledge.
The future success of a European manufacturing industry depends on remaining innovative and
competitive in a global economy. Modellers, materials data scientists, software owners and translators
need to be aware of their interdependence and become enabled with the necessary tools to achieve
the vision for the European manufacturing industry.
In the Roadmap, the key topical areas that can maximise the impact of materials modelling and
digitalisation of materials sciences for industry have been critically assessed. For each, the current
shortcomings, in relation to identified industry needs, are defined in detail as to the state of the art
and the remaining gaps. Recommendations for actions are made to overcome the gaps. Successful
follow up actions can thus lead to a positive advancement of materials modelling and contribute to
the overall ambition of establishing a strong and agile materials related industry in Europe. Many
aspects need considering both on a technological and an organisational level, which requires talented
people in multiple disciplines. Making it happen becomes a complex interplay between the required
materials modelling toolbox (content), how modelling is made available and readily accessible
(framework), and how both can be used to address the defined needs (implementation) of European
materials industry.
