The SoftComp Network of Excellence aims to establish a knowledge base for the intelligent design of functional and nanoscale soft matter composites. The overriding concern of SoftComp is to overcome the fragmentation in terms of disciplines or materials of this extremely important field for the development of new materials at the interface of non-living and living matter. The Network unites many of the very best European research groups from the traditionally separate soft matter fields. It also connects these academic groups with a sizeable fraction of Europe’s most important partners from industry who deal with such materials.

The SoftComp Network of Excellence does not have a legal personality on its own. Therefore Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH acts as the Network Coordinator as the intermediary to the commission and as the administrator of the network.

Neither the Co-ordinator, nor any of its representatives is entitled to act or to make legally binding declarations on behalf of the Parties to the Network altogether or on behalf of a single Party.
