The current thematic scope of KMM-VIN is arranged within four Working Groups focused on: Intermetallics (WG1), Metal-Ceramic Composites (WG2), Functionally Graded Materials (WG3) and Functional Materials (WG4). The KMM-VIN membership includes research groups with expertise in material processing technologies, characterisation of material microstructure, mechanical and physical properties, modelling (analytical and numerical) of material behaviour under design and in-service conditions. The continuously growing number of researchers within the KMM-VIN members, comprise specialists in materials science, physics, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and numerical methods, who are capable of forming problem-oriented consortia to provide comprehensive and verifiable solutions in the KMM area.

The solid base for the research of KMM-VIN Working Groups was created by the Workpackages of the Network of Excellence KMM-NoE (www.kmm-noe.org; FP6 project 2004-2009). 
In the following files below the main research results obtained by the KMM-NoE consortium are summarized:
