The strategic objective of RAMSSES is to obtain recognition and an established role for advanced materials in the European maritime industry. To achieve this, the project follows a two-way strategy, aiming to
strengthen European leaders by demonstrating full feasibility and by validating the technical and economic properties of innovative material solutions in close-to-reality applications and to
add value to a wider European maritime community, by improving the exchange of information, technology transfer, extending the knowledge base and developing ways to a faster approval.

The RAMSSES project aims to show the benefits of advanced materials in maritime applications by implementing 13 market driven demo cases. The entire process chain and a wide range of applications (structural components, equipment, ship integration, repair) are covered. Installation and assessment of demonstrators on shore or on board will reveal the high technology readiness. The test program, based on risk assessment and supervised by rule making bodies, targets on ensuring relevance for commercial approval beyond the project. While demonstrators will support commercialisation of specific products, RAMSSES is also engaged strategically in enabling more rapid and agile material innovation in the European Maritime industry. The first key element is a knowledge repository for test data and best practice procedures, allowing reuse of such information for similar future cases. Secondly, standardised risk scenarios will help easing approval processes in the future, and finally a new materials innovation platform will enhance continuous technology transfer within the maritime sector and beyond.
