IAM-I is the international non-profit Association that will operate the upcoming European co-programmed partnership Innovative Advanced Materials for Europe (IAM4EU), recently announced in the EC’s communication on Advanced Materials for industrial Leadership (Feb 2024) and in the Horizon Europe strategic plan 2025-2027.



The ambition of the partnership, driven by the association, 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.



IAM-I will integrate all strands of stakeholders, from upstream developers, downstream users, citizens along industrial value chains enabled by IAMs. IAM-I will provide a common and shared framework covering the full range of materials’ value chains, and needs and challenges along their lifecycles.
