The future of nuclear energy depends on the materials that make it possible. Nuclear materials must perform safely and reliably under demanding conditions, making their development, qualification and monitoring a critical part of advancing nuclear energy technologies.
CONNECT-NM is bringing together European expertise to transform how these materials are researched, moving from an “observe and qualify” approach towards “design and control”.
At the heart of CONNECT-NM’s approach are five research lines, covering the full journey from managing and reusing materials data to developing advanced materials, supporting their qualification, monitoring their performance and predicting their behaviour through advanced modelling.
Explore the five research lines below and discover how each contributes to the future of nuclear materials research.
