Abstract
The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), has initiated a three-year, research based UK-French network on Materials for Energy Efficient Transport (MEET). The MEET Network, which is funded until June 2015, involves a geographical grouping of universities and research centers interested in a wide range of aspects of efficiency in transport. The MEET network includes a diverse range of chemists, engineers, social scientists and scientific communicators. The research themes of the consortium include lightweight composites and bio-derived composites for use as structural materials in aerospace and automotive industries. Comprehensive screening of promising new porous materials for hydrogen storage is being carried out using a combination of experimental hydrogen capacity measurements, modeling and simulation. The MEET network will explore new materials by building partnerships between key players and fostering cross- border research between centers of excellence and encouraging synergies of skills.
