The European Materials Modelling Council (EMMC) was established in 2014 as a new European network to coordinate and support the industrial uptake of materials modelling in Europe. The EMMC community consists of different types of stakeholders, namely: manufacturers (industrial end-users); software owners (academic and commercial software providers); Translators (skilled professionals able to translate industrial problems into modeling activities) and academic model developers (of electronic, atomistic, mesoscopic and continuum models). The main EMMC objectives are: to enhance the interaction and collaboration between all stakeholders; to identify materials model gaps in industry and to steer model development; to build strong foundations to ease model interoperability, integration and data management; to promote modelling in industry based on beneficial economic arguments. These activities rely on wide stakeholder consultation, with the ultimate goal to integrate materials modelling into the product life-cycle management, enhancing innovation and global competitiveness.

The aim of this talk is to present the EMMC activities, with particular regards to those related to standardization, interoperability and data management strategies for materials modelling. First, the Review of Materials Modelling (RoMM), edited by the European Commission, will be presented as the reference document for standardization. Based on this preamble, the CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) for materials modelling terminology, the Modelling Data (MODA) sheets to document modelling in standard form, and the European Materials Modelling Ontology (EMMO) will be presented. Particular emphasis will be given to the discussion of physics-based vs data-based modelling approaches, showing how they fit into the abovementioned tools. Available results on the data-management regulation will be also shown and discussed. Finally, an outlook on how this framework will help materials discovery and design will be given.
