Partnership website: https://www.iam-i.eu/iam4eu-partnership/
The Innovative Advanced Materials for Europe (IAM4EU) Partnership is a co-programmed European Partnership under Horizon Europe, dedicated to advancing the design, development, and uptake of Innovative Advanced Materials to support Europe’s twin green and digital transitions and the Clean Industrial Deal. The Horizon Cluster 4 Work Programme 2025 contained the first calls backed by this Partnership.

IAM4EU brings together public and private stakeholders across the materials innovation ecosystem — including industry, research and technology organisations (RTOs), academia, and EU institutions — to co-create a shared R&I agenda and drive impactful innovation across sectors.

IAM4EU is governed by the Partnership Board, which comprises the IAM-I Delegation to the Partnership Board and representatives of the European Commission services.

Objective

EU leadership in advanced materials innovation and industrial competitiveness in strategic markets to secure the Twin Green and digital Transitions & a Competitive & sovereign EU.

Specific objectives of the Partnership: 

  • Resilient & circular industrial value chains, from IAM design to end-of-life
  • High-level capabilities to accelerate the innovation cycle and respond to new requirements
  • A multi-disciplinary, cross-sectorial, collaborative EU-wide R&I ecosystem along the innovation cycle

How to use partnerships?

  • orientation
    Partnerships publish strategic documents, e.g. outlining the main research and innovation challenges or key focus points.
  • networking
    Partnerships often organise events, such as info days, brokerage events, etc. Meet potential partners and learn about the nuances that are not visible in the official documents.
  • ecosystem analysis
    Partnerships typically have an advisory board, and publish impact studies of previous actions. These are good sources of information to uncover the main R&D&I players in the domain.
  • steering the agenda
    Partnerships collaborate with the EC on outlining the strategy and the future funding opportunities in their domain, based on input from industry, academia, and other stakeholders.

BRIDGE & EFFEct: KU Leuven coordinates 2 projects addressing challenges in EU education systems

Across Europe, many education systems face persistent challenges, including declining learning outcomes, high dropout rates, teacher shortages, and widening inequalities linked to socio-economic background. KU Leuven coordinates two Horizon Europe Cluster 2 projects that are strongly interlinked and aim to generate robust, evidence-based insights that can support more effective, inclusive, and resilient education systems across Europe.
