In view of the major revision of the ERC panel structure for the 2021 and 2022 calls, the ERC Scientific Council has decided to publish the full panel structure well ahead of time. In this new structure we would like to highlight that by the first time the Materials Science and Engineering has a specific panel, Panel 11 to which we are proud to contribute through different policy makers for the need of such a panel, thanks to the role of Materials as an enabler for science and technology. This should allow the scientific communities to familiarise themselves with the changes in preparation for the first calls under the 2021 Work Programme. - Panel structure for ERC calls 2021 and 2022- Revision of ERC panel structure - Rationale and main changes (Article from https://erc.europa.eu/) There is now an ERC panel fully devoted to Materials Science.The last Ordinary General Assembly of the Presidium took place by Internet on May 29th, 2020.

The European Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2020 Leonardo da Vinci Award to Prof. Klaus Müllen for his outstanding activity in the field of physical organic chemistry. Klaus Müllen received his academic training in physical and physical organic chemistry, later held a chair in organic chemistry and became director at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research where he was responsible for macromolecular synthesis. Deeply rooted in methods of organic synthesis and with an emphasis on organic electronic materials, he introduced a wealth of new polymer architectures, but also advanced the need for precision polymer synthesis. Many of his polymers have become classics of materials science. His work stands out for both depth and breadth, extending from organic colorants to conjugated polymers, from graphenes to polyolefins and from organic-inorganic composites to functional organic nanoparticles. His whole scientific career is a tribute to interdisciplinarity and trustworthy collaboration. This has allowed their consortia to jointly make major contributions to nanoscience, photophysics, device fabrication, sensing and even tumor therapies. In his belief, materials synthesis must, first, be reliable to allow sound structure-property relations and to rationally „synthesize desired properties and functions“, and, secondly, include methods of processing, i.e. of creating defined macroscopic states of matter. Along these lines, he has described liquid-crystalline phases, thin films and fibers with unique supramolecular architectures. In 1995 his group published a seminal paper on large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons together with their electronic characterization by scanning tunneling microscopy. By making these disc structures larger and larger, they have established the class of „nanographenes“ . These, in turn, have culminated in the synthesis of graphene nanoribbons, a new type of electronic materials bridging the worlds of conjugated polymers and graphenes. Classical polymer synthesis is thereby combined with synthesis after immobilization of monomers on surfaces and even with chemical vapor deposition. In Klaus Müllen’s research, creativity in synthesis has always served a goal in materials research. In 2007, they published a first paper towards nowadays widely used donor-acceptor polymers as semiconductors for organic field-effect transistors . Likewise, their graphene nanoribbons are not only relevant for established device applications, but also for spintronics and even for future quantum computing. From a strategic point of view, their graphenic (2D-) structures are made from multiply branched (3D-) polyphenylene precursors. The latter, in turn, are functional materials in their own right as shape-persistent, tree-like polymers (dendrimers) for biomedicine, light harvesting and catalysis.Dear Academician, We are glad to announce the results of the Blaise Pascal Medals. – Prof. Iain McCulloch for Materials Sciences, – Prof. John Katsikadelis for Engineering, – Prof. Albert Cohen for Mathematics, – Prof. Manfred Reetz for Chemisty, – Prof. Sir Tejinder Singh Virdee for Physics.

Professor J.N. Reddy, Honorary Member of the Engineering Division of EURASC, is recently elected to two different national academies. He is elected as the Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the Corresponding Member of the Royal Academy of Engineering of Spain. The Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) is the national academy of the People's Republic of China for engineering. It was established in 1994 and is an institution of the State Council of China. The CAE and the Chinese Academy of Sciences are often referred to together as the "Two Academies". The Royal Academy of Engineering of Spain (Real Academia de Ingeniería, RAI) promotes works and studies that reflect scientific progress in the field of engineering, its technological applications and its operational techniques. Professor Reddy is the inaugural holder of the Oscar S. Wyatt Jr. Endowed Chair in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas. In 1998 he was appointed as the University Distinguished Professor (only top 2% of the university faculty hold this honor); he was named as the Regents’ Professor in 2010. His pioneering works on the development of shear deformation theories (that bear his name in the literature as the Reddy third-order plate theory and the Reddy layerwise theory) have had a major impact and have led to new research developments and applications. Another profound contribution of Professor Reddy has been in education and knowledge that impacted the educational and professional lives of scoreless young people around the world through his text books, short courses, and workshops. His collaborations in Europe are extremely strong. In particular, he has been a research collaborator/seminar speaker in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, U.K., Finland, and Germany many times (e.g., Politecnico di Torino, University of Parma, University of Bologna, University of Campania, University of Roma, University of Calabria, University of Naples, Oxford University, University of Swansea, University of Stuttgart, University of Wuppertal, Aalto University, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, University of Zaragoza, University of Porto, and University of Lisbon), working with local researches on shell theories for laminated composite structures. As a result of this extensive collaboration, he published many journal papers and books with European co-authors. Also, his collaboration in Italy, Spain, and Portugal have been very extensive and it continues to this day. In addition, Professor Reddy served as advisor and/or external committee member of PhD students in U.K., Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal. Dr. Reddy also presented several short courses and organized a NATO Advanced Study Institute on finite elements and composite materials and structures in various places in Europe. Professor Reddy served Chinese structural engineering community with research collaborations and teaching of short courses and conducting workshops and conferences for over 25 years. In fact, he was a member of the first delegation of researchers from the USA who attended the International Conference on Finite Element Methods, August 2-6, 1982, Shanghai. Since his first visit to China in 1982, he came to China many times, and in recent times almost every year, to give lectures and conduct short courses. Some of the universities he has developed collaborations with and/or delivered lectures include: Beihang University, Beijing; South China University of Technology, Guangzhou; Jilin University, Nanling Campus, Changchun; Shanghai University, Shanghai; Chongqing University; Xi’an Jiaotong University; Shanghai Jiaotong University; Wuhan University; Southeast University, Nanjing; China Academy of Sciences, Beijing; Tsinghua University, Beijing; Tongji University, Shanghai; Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen; Dalian University of Technology; University of Science and Technology of China; East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST), Shanghai; Zhejiang University, Hangzhou; Guangdong Institute of Intelligent Manufacturing, Guangzhou; University of Macau; and City University of Hong Kong. He holds several honorary appointments at various Chinese Universities: Qiushi Chair Professor of Zhejiang University; Honorary Professor, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics; Guest Professor, Guangdong Institute of Intelligent Manufacturing, Guangzhou; and Advisory Professor, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China, Oct. 2019.
