7) Development of production processes of new materials


Sector/Subsector: Knowledge and the digital economy/ Private and public R&D.

Description: European Union is one of the global leaders in this field with many
international projects for instance “graphene flagship”- project with a budget of over €1
bn and over 140 partnership organizations from 23 European countries including
universities, research institutes and private companies. The proposals of new projects
aim at strengthening this position via establishment of new laboratories, higher
spending on research activities and deeper cooperation between member countries in
the area of science.

Projects will also make possible implementation of important EU and international
undertakings (ELA-MAT – ITER, graphene – graphene flagship).
Continuation of research on industrial application of new, revolutionary materials, and
launching their production on an industrial scale is one of the priorities of the Polish
R&D policy.
Financing needs: Projects’ costs range from €50 mn to €1 bn.
Involved parties: Public and private institutions (e.g. Warsaw University of Technology,
Nano Carbon Sp. z o.o. and Institute of Electronic Materials Technology, Wroclaw
Research Centre EIT+).
Main project barriers: Lack of long-term financing, low propensity of private sector to
co-fund research infrastructure, unknown level of financial involvement of international
parties (in the process of negotiation).
Socio-economic benefits: The numerous fields of application of the new materials
could contribute to faster development of different industries e.g. automotive industry,
electric power industry, medicine industry etc.

European Value Added: European Union may become a global leader in development
and production of new, revolutionary materials. Taking into consideration their multiple
fields of application projects can be financially beneficial for the European Union in the
long term.
Project examples:
 Research on industrial application of graphene, and launching its production. (€50
mn);
 Development and production of perovskites;
 Building in Poland IFMIF/ELA-MAT Laboratory (€1 bn).
