        Experts call for EU policies on advanced materials to prioritise
        autonomy, safety, sustainability, and prosperity

Today the Scientific Advice Mechanism (SAM) has released the Evidence 
Review Report and Scientific Opinion on Advanced Materials. Advanced 
materials are crucial for Europe’s autonomy, competitiveness, and 
resilience. However, even though Europe has a strong foundation in 
science and established regulatory practices, there are structural 
challenges that hinder the transition from materials discovery to their 
safe, sustainable, and competitive use.
