Abstract
This paper reviews the main achievements of the Targeted Project “Special Materials for Advanced Technology” (TP SMAT [1989–1993]).
It describes the analysis of funding provided by TP SMAT and the most important results of TP SMAT with reference to both scientific publications issued (together with the relative impact factor) and technology demonstrators produced. Human skills developed and new facilities are also taken into account.
It also analyzes a new way of managing Targeted Project based upon cross-functional process, where timing and mode of development are merged in a single goal: an innovative electrical car (Zero Impact Car—ZIC). In this process the various topics were combined, with typical concurrent engineering tools, in a complete harmonious way in order to produce a demonstrator of new materials, technologies and integrated design (i.e. design of both structures and microstructures-materials). This new managing model is the “so called”: ZIC paradigm.
