Modelling is a powerful tool that supports materials research in the development of novel or improved applications. It provides the key information for identifying new materials, tailoring materials and design materials for structures and systems.

To foster dialogue and mutual understanding between industrial end-users, software developers and theoreticians, this publication presents the scope and achievements of the modeling in about 80 projects funded in the 7th Framework Programme (2007-2013) by the NMP Programme, unit Materials.
