Prof. Herman Terryn (VUB) has a message for Flanders Metals Valley: “The choice of the best material for a dedicated solution is not straightforward, … and often several options are open. In the context of the #eugreendeal policy, we need to learn our future materials engineer students to rethink our strategies for material selection and design. The design of a material has an impact on its full lifetime: from resources and production technique, transformation of material into device, functioning in the device, over recycling or second use and end of life. (…) Specific predictive design tools in this field will be key in generating this transition; this is where we focus our new research at VUB. Flanders Metal Valley could lead to new partnerships to achieve this ultimate goal."

The FMV-startup could not agree more and looks forward to meeting you during the grand launch on March 31 (registration: https://lnkd.in/dfJrR6W)
