Energy Materials Coordinating Committee (EMaCC]

Department of Energy

The Energy Materials Coordinating Committee ( EMaCC ) embraces 19 program offices across DOE that have distinctly different mission-related responsibilities for materials research or development. The EMaCC provides a formal structure for communication and coordination between these program offices. Under the terms of its Charter, EMaCC reports to the director of the Office of Science. A report is published annually: both the most recent report and those for previous years are available in PDF format through the buttons at the left.  From that report, we see that the total DOE effort in unclassified materials research and development in FY2003 came to $874,985K allocated as shown below.

Current EMaCC officers (for FY2006) are

      Dr. Susan Lesica (Office of Nuclear Energy, Science, and Technology), Chairperson 

      Dr. Aravinda Kini (Office of Basic Energy Sciences), Executive Secretary

EMaCC activities in focused topics of common interest to three or more program offices and can be carried out through subcommittees.  None are currently active.
