Support for Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) Accelerator Network Workshop; Georgia Institute of Technology; Atlanta, Georgia; June 5-6, 2014

该奖项为一个研讨会提供部分支持，该研讨会汇集了来自学术界、政府和工业界的不同群体的社区专家，探索全国各大学主要材料基因组计划（MGI）活动的整合，并通过全体会议发言人和MGI相关主题的海报了解重要的正在进行的MGI研究。“材料基因组计划”是一项多机构倡议，旨在开创一个政策、资源和基础设施的新时代，支持美国机构以较低的成本以两倍的速度发现、制造和部署先进材料。研讨会期间提出的想法将为制定整合MGI活动的路线图奠定基础。这将推动材料科学和工程的发展。由于先进材料对经济安全和人类福祉至关重要，因此本讲习班更广泛地满足了社会的需求。该讲习班有助于建立一个网络，以整合与MGI有关的正在进行和未来的活动。研讨会将于2014年6月5日至6日在乔治亚州亚特兰大的佐治亚理工学院举行。MGI在工业界、政府和大学利益相关者之间发起了一场广泛的讨论，讨论数字数据、计算和实验，以加速材料的发现和开发，并将其纳入产品。MGI的目标是加快从发现到部署的过程，“用一半的时间，一半的成本”。然而，实现这一目标的努力往往局限于特定的机构，导致在整合努力以实现协同作用、采用最佳做法和避免重复方面面临重大挑战。面对这些挑战，白宫科技政策办公室在MGI成立两周年之际，于2013年6月宣布了一项由佐治亚理工学院、威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校和密歇根大学联合组织的倡议，旨在就建立一个全国性的“加速器网络”的前景展开全国性对话，以促进材料的发现、开发和部署。这样一个加速器网络将支持MGI的目标，即通过行业、政府和大学利益相关者之间的合作努力，显著减少发现、开发和部署材料所需的时间框架。这项活动的优点在于，它有可能使全国各机构的科学和工程进步更有效地结合起来，从而使其进入社会，从而在减少从发现一种材料到将其应用于产品的时间方面取得更迅速的进展。

This award provides partial support for a workshop to bring together a diverse group of community experts from academia, government, and industry to explore the integration of major Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) activities in various universities across the nation and to learn about important ongoing MGI research through plenary speakers and posters on major MGI-related themes. The Materials Genome Initiative is a multi-agency initiative designed to create a new era of policy, resources, and infrastructure that support U.S. institutions in the effort to discover, manufacture, and deploy advanced materials twice as fast, at a fraction of the cost. Ideas developed during the workshop will provide the foundation to develop a roadmap for integrating MGI activities. This will advance the science and engineering of materials. Since advanced materials are essential to economic security and human well-being, this workshop contributes more broadly to the needs of society. This workshop contributes to building a network to integrate ongoing and future activities associated with the MGI. The workshop will be held June 5-6, 2014 at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia. The MGI has launched a broad discussion among industry, government and university stakeholders on digital data, computation, and experiments necessary to accelerate the discovery and development of materials and their incorporation into products. The stated MGI goal is to speed up the process from discovery to deployment, in "half the time at half the cost." However, efforts to achieve this goal are often localized in specific institutions leading to major challenges in integrating efforts to achieve synergies, employ best practices, and avoid duplication. Related to these challenges, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, in conjunction with the 2nd anniversary of the MGI, announced in June 2013 an initiative organized jointly by Georgia Tech, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of Michigan to begin a national dialogue regarding prospects for establishing a national scale "Accelerator Network" for materials discovery, development, and deployment. Such an Accelerator Network would support MGI goals of significantly reducing the timeframe required to discover, develop, and deploy materials through collaborative efforts among industry, government, and university stakeholders. The merit of this activity lies in its potential to lead to more efficient and effective incorporation of scientific and engineering advances from institutions across the nation leading into the community leading to more rapid progress on the effort to decrease the time from the discovery of a material to its deployment in products.
