Abstract:
Materials are the basis of social progress, while advanced materials work as the forerunner and foundation for development of modern high technologies. As a result, the world has always attached great importance to materials, especially the development of advanced materials. This article researches on the policies and programs related to advanced materials in recent years in the world, including the Enabling Technologies in Europe, Materials Genome Initiative and Advanced Manufacturing Partnership in USA, Industry 4.0 in Germany as well as China Intelligent Manufacturing 2025. By tracking these programs, the article captures the latest progress and highlights of advanced materials R&D in the world, expecting to provide guidance for policies-making in the governments, layout of future materials R&D direction in research institutions as well as curriculum design and talents cultivation in universities, and promote innovation and technological progress in advanced materials science and industry.
