InnoMatSyn

About the project

InnoMatSyn, an EU-funded project coordinated by BioNanoNet Forschungsgesellschaft GmbH (BNN) with 14 beneficiaries, seeks to create synergies of regional, national and European initiatives for advanced materials to boost their impact, in support of development of safe and sustainable materials. The consortium receives EUR 4 million funding from the European Commission to execute the project within the next three years.  

Purpose of the project

InnoMatSyn has set the following objectives:  

• Harmonisation of regional, national and European (funding) initiatives (e.g.: Smart Specialisation Strategies, European Research Area Networks, national funding bodies, partnerships, EITs, etc.) in the field of advanced / innovative materials. 

• Development of technology leakage risks assessment guidelines and implementation support for European member states 

• Development of knowledge about competences, projects (calls, results), publications, common materials, etc., and knowledge transfer

• Development of a sustainable European research, development and innovation ecosystem in the field of advanced / innovative materials  

Societal impact

• Facilitates the development of safe and sustainable materials, crucial for future technologies and societal well-being. 

• Strengthens European sovereignty and competitiveness in critical material technologies. 

• Enhances knowledge transfer and cross-border collaboration in research and innovation. 

• Contributes to standardisation, governance and risk management in materials science. 

Main results & insights

• An interconnected European advanced materials ecosystem. 

• AI-based knowledge repository containing data on competences, projects, publications, etc. 

• Technology leakage risk assessment guidelines. 

• Increased collaboration through joint funding calls and knowledge-sharing networks. 

• Strong community engagement with over 100 stakeholders, 36 Letters of Support, and a target ecosystem size of 150+ members.
