InnoMatSyn Connects the Advanced/Innovative Materials Initiatives from Regional, National Level and Across Europe

A new project, bringing together experts in advanced/innovative materials (AdMa) across Europe, held its kick-off meeting in Vienna, Austria, from 4-5 March 2025.

InnoMatSyn, an EU-funded project coordinated by BioNanoNet Forschungsgesellschaft mbH (BNN) with 14 beneficiaries, seeks to create synergies of regional, national and European initiatives for AdMa to boost their impact, in support of development of safe and sustainable materials. The consortium receives 4 million Euros EC-funding to execute the project within the next 3 years.

The project will provide an interconnected materials ecosystem, AI-based knowledge repository, technology leakage risk assessment, and support for joint funding calls. As of the launch of the project, InnoMatSyn has received a great deal of support from stakeholders from all over Europe.

InnoMatSyn has set the following objectives:

• Synergetic connecting of regional, national and European (funding) initiatives (e.g.: s3, ERA.NETs, national funding bodies, partnerships, EITs, etc.) in the field of “Advanced/Innovative Materials”
• Development of technology leakage risks assessment guidelines and implementation support for member states
• Development of knowledge about competences, projects (calls, results), publications, Materials Commons, etc., and knowledge transfer
• Development of a sustainable European Research-, Development- and Innovation-Ecosystem in the field of Advanced/Innovative Materials

The consortium comprises relevant representatives in the field of 2D-materials and advanced/innovative materials as beneficiaries. Fourteen partners from 10 countries form the project team, contributing well-balanced expertise concerning community building & networking, technology leakage risks assessment, standardization & governance, funding, smart specialisation, stakeholder engagement, IT/AI-knowhow, technology infrastructures, and strategy development.

A website will be launched in June 2025. Follow InnoMatSyn on LinkedIn to become part of the community and stay up-to-date about InnoMatSyn activities and achievements for the AdMa-ecosystem in Europe!
