MGI Celebrates Fifth Anniversary at White House

On August 2, 2016, leading experts from academia, industry, and federal agencies gathered at the White House to celebrate five years of progress in redefining materials research in the United States. The Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) has sparked a paradigm shift in the way that materials are discovered, developed, and deployed. By emphasizing computationally-led and data-driven research, MGI is accelerating the pace at which fundamental discoveries are made and transitioned to American manufacturing. Research sponsored by DoD (AFRL, ARL, ONR), DOE, NASA, NIST, and NSF has led to an impressive list of accomplishments.
