EASN-TIS participates in the ambitious FET (Future and Emerging Technologies) ICARUS (Innovative Coarsening-resistant Alloys with enhanced Radiation tolerance and Ultra-fine–grained Structure for aerospace application) project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 713514.
ICARUS, which was officially launched on September 1st, 2016, aims to develop an innovative thermodynamic approach to materials design, which promises the discovery of entirely new classes of multi-component nanocrystalline metal alloys resistant to coarsening, with properties specifically tailored to application. 
The success of the ICARUS project will cause a paradigm shift in the aviation industry, by allowing more efficient use of resources and energy, reductions in aviation’s negative environmental impact through the use of lighter and recycle structures in aviation, reduction in manufacturing and maintenance costs and lead time, as well as in the certification/standardisation costs.
