Many
applications of so-called smart materials
are based on changes in their atomic, nano-
and microstructure brought about by phase
transformations. In order to further develop
and apply these materials we need a better
and fundamental understanding of the underlying
principles of these processes. MULTIMAT aims
to continue existing and fruitful collaborations
between strong theoretical and experimental
research groups active in this exciting and
promising field of advanced materials.

| Some quotes: |
"I wanted to congratulate you on the success of this network. I was really impressed with not only the scientific output, but also with the great atmosphere and evident very effective collaboration."
Prof. Peter Palffy-Muhoray, Kent State Univ., USA |
"The Marie Curie network turned out to be an excellent catalyst for cross-team and interdisciplinary collaborations."
Rémi Delville (Fr), ESR, Antwerp team |
|
"I owe much of my training to research experiences abroad, in the areas of Materials Science, Mathematics, and Mechanics. These international experiences, and in particular the MULTIMAT Post-Doc at Ecole Polytechnique played a crucial role in applying to my present research position in Portugal."
Nicolas Van Goethem (B), ER, EP team |
