Summary
A programme of workshops, schools, and exchange visits is targeted at the understanding, modeling and design of functional materials. Materials functionality is often based on phenomena that are poorly understood at a predictive level either because of inherently strong interactions (e.g. magnetism, ferroelectricity, superconductivity) or complex structure (e.g. composites, oxides, biomaterials), and increasingly both. Our proposal brings together different communities: materials scientists, experimentalists, and theorists. Together with an established (and US National Science Foundation - funded) programme, our network will acquire an international dimension across North America and Asia
