OCAS has the ambition to further broaden the scope of the existing regional MaDurOS program geographically to a European context as well as to widen its application scope to other materials (non-ferrous metals, composites, …) as well as other asset-intensive sectors such as deep-sea mining, geothermal drilling, renewables, power generation, oil&gas, … which are all facing a similar challenge that the absence of dedicated testing and simulation facilities to characterize the behaviour of materials and components under severe or harsh conditions, is a roadblock towards material driven innovations. At the same time, the EIT Raw Materials provides a unique opportunity to further inventorize and enrich existing set-ups, identify testing blind spots as well as expand the predictive simulation models with complementary competences.
