Building an ecosystem around autonomous Materials Acceleration Platforms for scale-up production of advanced functional materials for sustainable energy technologies

This session explores how to build an ecosystem around autonomous Materials Acceleration Platforms (MAP) for advanced functional materials in sustainable energy technologies. Three speakers will provide insights: one on the COST-Action EU-MACE, an ongoing European project establishing such an ecosystem; another will showcase a specific example on connecting traditional (legacy) laboratories to a MAP in practice; and the third will highlight the critical role of communication in bridging diverse stakeholders to foster collaboration and accelerated innovation.
