The development of dynamically-consistent coarse-grained models is particularly challenging when dynamic processes on different time scales compete. To investigate these issues, we have focused on two important classes of systems, liquid crystals (LCs) and ionic liquids (ILs). In the past, we have developed methods to systematically identify dynamical inconsistencies in such systems and correct them by combining Markov-state-modelling techniques with traditional structure-based coarse-graining. In the third funding period, we will merge our LC and IL activities and increase the structural and dynamical complexity to approach situations closer to applications.
