DAEMON COST Action—A Pan-European Network for Materials Discovery Acceleration

DAEMON (Data-driven Applications towards the Engineering of Functional Materials: an Open Network) COST action [1,2] is a pan-European network consisting of 200+ members from 40+ EU countries, which focuses on capacity-building and research-coordination efforts, with the end goal of to accelerating materials discovery in Europe by means of cutting-edge computational techniques and data-driven methods.<br/><br/>In this presentation, I will discuss ongoing efforts and activities of the network towards this goal. Next, I will focus on the challenges, and unexploited opportunities, that characterize materials acceleration in the specific context of a truly horizontal, inclusive, and pan-European network, together with the top-down and bottom-up level policies we aim to lobby for.<br/><br/>[1] https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA22154/<br/>[2] <u>https://cost-</u><u>daemon</u><u>.eu/</u>
