CEN workshop for the Revision of CWA 17815:2021: “Materials Characterisation – Terminology, Metadata and Classification”

The upcoming CEN workshop for the revision of CWA 17815:2021: “Materials Characterisation – Terminology, Metadata and Classification”, aims to establish a common language (definitions and vocabulary) for materials characterisation and modelling. It is organized by the nanoMECommons project and supported by the European Materials Characterisation Council.

The NanoMECommons project, funded by Horizon 2020 (GA 952869), is building a network of researchers and innovators to tackle the challenge of characterizing nanomaterials across various industries.

The workshop targets professionals in research and development across various industries, particularly those involved in material characterisation and modelling. The resulting CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) will enhance communication among experts in all areas of materials characterisation and modelling and facilitate exchange between industrial end-users, experimentalists, and computational modellers.

Workshop Details:

  • Secretariat: UNI, the Italian National Standards Body
  • Kick-off Meeting: Online, 24 May 2024, 09:30 – 12:30 CEST

Survey on characterisation priorities

NanoMECommons project is cordially inviting EMCC community to participate in a survey integral to the consultation of roadmapping activities within the characterisation domain. This encompasses advanced characterisation, data exchange procedures, artificial intelligence, and other pertinent topics, drawing upon the invaluable experiences and insights from your projects.

This survey is a collaborative initiative stemming from the Horizon 2020 project NanoMECommons (Grant Agreement: 952869), building upon the discussions held at the EuroNanoForum 2023 event, particularly the special session of EMCC on advanced characterisation. This survey is endorsed by EMCC board and will contribute to roadmapping activities.

The gathered insights will serve as crucial input for the NanoMECommons project, aiding in mapping priority activities within the characterisation landscape. This effort will help identify gaps and contribute to the development of a framework, enabling characterisation to provide impactful solutions with broader implications at the EU level, particularly in connection with materials design, manufacturing, and the circular economy.

Your active participation in this survey is pivotal to shaping the future of characterisation advancements. For larger companies, it is recommended referencing a specific sector or business line during completion, recognizing that distinct processes or principles may be applicable.

Upon the community request, we extend the deadline for completion to January 12, 2024. To contribute your insights, please follow the survey link provided below:

Should you have any queries or require further clarification, do not hesitate to reach out to us at coordinator@NanoMECommons.eu or info@NanoMECommons.eu.

Thank you for your cooperation and valuable input.

Warm regards,

On behalf of NanoMECommons project
