National research programme Emerging materials (PEPR DIADEM)
Redefining materials design through artificial intelligence
Faced with the crucial challenges of energy transition, sustainable mobility, digital technology and health, the rapid discovery of high-performance and sustainable materials is becoming essential. The DIADEM research programme aims to profoundly transform the way these materials are designed, using artificial intelligence and cutting-edge technology platforms.
|
The programme draws on a wide range of disciplines: chemistry, physics, materials science, numerical simulation, process engineering and artificial intelligence. It tackles a major challenge: significantly reducing the time needed to develop complex materials using high-throughput synthesis, characterisation as well as modelling and automation loops.
The potential applications are vast: electricity production and storage, lightweight materials for transport, innovative medical devices, and more sustainable electronic components. These innovations could transform key sectors by meeting the growing need for clean energy, sustainable mobility, and more accessible health technologies.
By bringing laboratories closer to industry, DIADEM is creating the conditions for greater economic competitiveness and enhanced technological sovereignty. It is also contributing to the development of new skills, which are essential for the emergence of an innovative materials sector in France and across Europe..
