Description
Summary:This European Materials Modelling Council (EMMC) study provides an outline of the survey intent and ambitions, followed by an analysis of the results and a follow up discussion, focused on the future perspectives of the EMMC. The survey covers materials modelling and characterisation communities in both academia and industry. It provides a profile of the surveyed players in these communities and a scaled measure on their usage of computational methodologies. The survey outcomes include: (i) summary views of the recent as well as perceived future trends of materials modelling and its associated fields, with respect to two focus areas surveyed, Model Development and Software, (ii) the main adoption factors and associated bottlenecks for computational methods and software, (iii) the most targeted materials properties and digital twins approaches, and (iv) the wider communities expectations of how EMMC can help facilitate, fulfil and drive further the European Materials Modelling Roadmap to the benefit of the European Commission’s (ECs’) research and innovation.
