KMM Intermetallics (MMC CMC) FGM

• Intermetallics - a new generation of low-density,
  high melting-point materials for multisectoral
  applications
• Metal-Ceramic Composites (MMC, CMC) - designed to
  sustain complex thermo-mechanical loading or
  adverse physico-chemical environment
• Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) involving
  knowledge-based grading of metal and ceramic
  constituents

• KMM-NoE (start date 1.11.2004)
• This Polish led NoE did an excellent job
• They have established a clear research roadmap
  (12 Research Tasks).
• Also the fragmented PhD programmes are being
  integrated
• They share infrastructure and databases.
• Their Virtual Institute will be based on local
  Competence Centers
• The legal form of their Virtual Institute will be
  a Research Association.
• A clear organisational Road Map was shown with
  financial business plan
• Financial durability is targeted via industry
  oriented research, training and membership fees
  and they foresee finances via paying clients.
• They work after strict Quality Assessment
  procedures, both internal and external.
• ....
•  
• We were very impressed with your work.
• It was a pleasant surprise.
• Congratulations!
