Overview


The ExtreMat Project

Objectives
ExtreMat is a FP6 Integrated Project, aiming at a break-through in materials research for applications in extreme environments
Structure
ExtreMat research comprises the areas “Self-passivating protection materials”, “Heat sink materials”, “Radiation-resistant materials” and “Materials system engineering”
Partners
ExtreMat project partnership combines the unique expertise of 37 institutions from all over Europe

Announcement

ExtreMat Conference 2008
02. -04. 06. 2008, San Sebastian, Spain
The ExtreMat Conference will show the radically new approach to the development of materials solutions for extreme environments.
