The Network of Excellence "Knowledge-based multicomponent materials for durable and safe performance" (KMM-NoE) has been established in order to create a coherent pan-European structure of key academic and research institutions, SMEs and large industry partners in the field of knowledge-based multicomponent materials designed for safe and durable performance in highly demanding loading and environmental conditions. Such materials include functionally graded materials, metal-ceramic composites and intermetallics. Objectives The main objectives of KMM-NoE are: • to contribute to creation of the ERA in the field of knowledge-based multi-component materials oriented towards advanced industrial applications • to network, strengthen and consolidate the fragmented and dispersed RTD potential in this area and apply instruments assuring long-lasting and progressive integration • to achieve a deep integration in the form of a new legal entity and cooperating research and industrial networks • to continuously enhance the research and technological skills of the Network to gain and hold the leading world position in this area. Participants The KMM-NoE brings together a critical mass of high level expertise (key academic and research institutions, SMEs and large industry partners) in the field of knowledge-based multicomponent materials from across 10 countries in Europe.
