The SoftComp Research Roadmap has been updated and is now available for download. It provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific expertise within the SoftComp network, showcasing the participating research groups, their main research areas, key experimental and computational methods, and major facilities. It is intended as a resource for researchers, students, industry and other stakeholders looking to identify expertise, establish collaborations or explore the scientific landscape of SoftComp.The updated edition reflects the continued development of the network and offers an up-to-date snapshot of SoftComp’s broad research portfolio, spanning soft matter, functional materials, advanced characterization, modelling and simulation, and data-driven materials research.

As the SoftComp community continues to grow and evolve, the Roadmap will be further expanded in future updates. The current edition is not yet exhaustive, and additional research groups will be included in future updates as further information becomes available.

The updated SoftComp Research Roadmap can be downloaded from the SoftComp website:
