Solutions for Critical Raw Materials Under Extreme Conditions (CRM-EXTREME)

Transcription

1 Solutions for Critical Raw Materials Under Extreme Conditions (CRM-EXTREME) Maria Letizia Ruello (IT) Chair Working Groups meeting, Ancona, 17 June 2016 COST is supported by the EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020

2 Well come - a small piece of history in these walls This building was a military barrack. During the last war a lot of Italian soldiers were prisoners here, when the Nazists occupied the city. The most of them were sent in Germany, but a lot of them were liberated thank the generous courage of a woman that worked in the barrack as dressmaker. Her name was Alda RENZI-LAUSDEI. Thanks to her job, Alda was free to enter in the barrack with plenty of civil dresses. Furthermore she knew small passages and doors of communication with the external. With the help of other common people of the neighbourhood a lot of prisoners could escape. Few weeks later, Alda died with other seven hundred people under the US air force bombs. The people of Ancona has a piece of his tragic history in this place. I have also a piece of my family. Alda was my great grandmother.

3 3. Action Strategy for the achievement of the Grant Period Goals CRM-EXTREME establishes its goals on the COST Action policies... and makes them specific from the scientific and technological point of view

4 CRM-EXTREME Action Objectives Challenge focus on the substitution of CRMs in high value alloys and metal-matrix composites used under extreme conditions, in Energy, Transportation and Machinery manufacturing industries, and to set up a network of expertise in multi-scale modelling, synthesis, characterization, engineering design and recycling to find viable alternatives to CRMs

5 CRM-EXTREME Action Objectives Research Coordination 1. Implement the successful integration of fundamental and applied research addressing the substitution of CRMs in high value alloys and metal-matrix composites used under extreme conditions in vital productive sectors such as Energy, Aerospace, Automotive, and Machinery manufacturing industry. 2. Establish a multi-disciplinary, collaborative novel network of EU scientists, engineers, and industrialists. 3. Harmonize the industrial needs and research actions, and ensure the impact and valorisation of scientific progress into the selected industrial Value Chains (VC) and beyond.

6 CRM-EXTREME Action Objectives Research Coordination 4. Understand the role of CRMs in high-tech materials used in extreme conditions, thus ranking major applications to best direct the Action efforts. 5. Design of a novel microstructure with reduced or without CRMs and design of related processing techniques with thermodynamic and kinetic models and experimental approach considering the full material life-cycle. 6. Industrial validation: production of test series of novel materials, large scale testing in industry, optimization of production technologies. 7. Assessment of the Value Chain impact environmental and economic.

7 CRM-EXTREME Action Objectives Capacity Building 1. To give efficacy to the research efforts of the participants giving them new links and facilities, fostering knowledge exchange and improving chances for successful EU projects. 2. Smoothen the process of development of independent careers of Early Career Investigators (ECI), providing opportunities for networking, training and growing management skills. 3. To promote a long-term improvement of inclusiveness and gender balance in this particular EU scientific and technological field and to improve career prospects of researchers who decide to combine a challenging research career with a family.

8 CRM-EXTREME Action Objectives

9 Grant Period Goals - assessment indicators: participation after the first 6 months: 2 months already gone the goal needs a choral effort 1000 web page views per month Complete the Action web-site with: WG1 and WG2-15 new participants the page People the call for STSMs composition with at least: the News letter % females ;- 20% ECI will improve the attractivness WG3-15 new participants composition with at least: - 30% females ;- 20% ECI; 10% industrial partners WG4-15 new participants composition with at least: - 50% females ;- 20% ECI; 10% industrial partners Complessively at now 24 new participants 60 new participants to the Action s WGs with at least: 40% females; 20% ECI, 5% industrial partners, 3 new Countries (at least 2 ITC) Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Croatia, Lithuania, Malta, Montenegro, Turkey

10 Grant Period Goals - assessment indicators: participation The call for Working Groups Members (application form) available on-line invite your selected contacts to join us, by means of personalised messages... speak directly with the people every time is possible... impersonal messages to mailing lists have scarce success...

11 Grant Period Goals - assessment indicators: participation Academias Research & Innovation Business Enterprises at now only 2 Warmly recommended to complete the partnership within the 1 st year at least before the main Action review (Month 18)

12 Grant Period Goals - assessment indicators: STSMs STSMs web page: 200 views STSMs web page: 500 views publish the STSMs call on the Action after the 1st months: end of July web-site immediatly after the after the 2nd months: end of August Ancona meeting STSM: 8 STSM (2 in enterprise) the 2nd call will be published at month 10, with the same indicators

13 Grant Period Goals - assessment indicators: dissemination Stakeholders specific website forum: 10 active participants contents from Dissemination Leaders Dissemination event: 50 reached people Research night (30 September) Action website upgraded with the program of the dedicated bilateral workshops with the Stakeholders Communities (SHC): Burgos meeting internal survey to discover if one or more of the Action partners will realise this event with premium to launch a call for the 3 best videos on "CRM under extreme" conditions? the premiums could be grants for our training school

14 Grant Period Goals - assessment indicators: WGs activities 2 newsletters per GP contents from WGs Leaders 2 H2020 projects submitted but also from all the Core Group it's time to collect the materials for the first newsletter, with the aim to send it before the Bourgos meeting 4 papers published could be: the state of the art of the WGs or papers already in preparation authored by different participants from 3 different Participating Countries

15 Grant Period Goals - assessment indicators: Action report Summarising 60 new participants to the Action with at least: - 40% females - 5% industrial partners, - 3 new Countries (at least 2 ITC) - 20% ECI INTERNAL communication to be constant (at least 2/month) EXTERNAL communication: - 25 active participants to the website forum - 2 newsletters per GP 2 H2020 projects submitted 4 papers published s with news and reminder
