Created in 2012, EMIRI – the Energy Materials Industrial Research Initiative – represents about 60 organizations (industry, research, associations) active in Advanced Materials Technologies for clean and sustainable energy & mobility. The association contributes to industrial leadership of developers, producers and key users of advanced materials by shaping innovation, manufacturing and energy policy framework at European level.
Since the publication of the Materials 2030 Manifesto in February 2022, EMIRI together with EUMAT, SUSCHEM and MANUFUTURE, with the support of the Materials 2030 Manifesto signatories and of the European Commission, has been steering the Advanced Materials 2030 Initiative (AMI2030) and preparing the setting up of the European co-programmed partnership on Innovative Advanced Materials (IAM4EU).
The ambition of this partnership is to establish and maintain a cross-sectorial, multidisciplinary, collaborative Europe-wide Research and Innovation ecosystem that will significantly accelerate the time-to-market of sustainable innovative advanced materials (IAMs) and associated technologies designed for a digital circular economy. The association that will represent the private part of the IAM4EU partnership, IAM-I – the Innovative Advanced Materials Initiative, has been recently launched and is now calling all stakeholders along the industrial value chains and across application sectors relying on advanced materials to register and participate in this visionary initiative. EMIRI is expected to be merged into IAM-I in the near future. Join and help shape the future of advanced materials in Europe!
EMIRI’s Role in PINK
Together with its members, EMIRI will guide and evaluate the developments of PINK (WP3 and WP6) and, as co-leader of WP7, stress test the PINKISH platform in industry-driven Demonstrators.
