Abstract:

• The NMBP-35 workshop "From Research to Industry: How Characterisation & Digitisation Changed the Game" emphasized the importance of advanced characterization tools and computer modelling for developing next-generation materials, highlighting their role in achieving sustainable and safe manufacturing practices within Industry 4.0 and 5.0. The workshop explored the benefits of combining real-time data with cutting-edge modelling to reduce reliance on experiments and accelerate innovation. Integrating these processes into industrial research and development can lead to reliable materials design, efficient production scale-up, and improved quality control. Additionally, the need for open-access characterization tools and models throughout the material development chain can be achieved through user-driven Open Innovation Test Beds. A collaboration via European initiatives is crucial for fostering progress in materials science and industrial advancements.
