Spearhead ventures
One third of the Core 3 funding was invested into spearhead projects, a bold move to maximise the impact of the Graphene Flagship in the innovation ecosystem and the European economy.
Work Packages 2020-2023
Divisions and work packages
The core three Graphene Flagship project was implemented in six divisions: four of them scientific and one each for Partnering Projects and Administration. The Graphene Flagship also contains the 2D-EPL project, which is working to establish an ecosystem for integrated 2D materials in the semiconductor industry. Within the divisions there were a total of 19 Work Packages, 15 on research and innovation and four on operative management aspects. Furthermore, the Graphene Flagship Core 3 project funded 11 industry-led spearhead initiatives aimed at increasing the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of graphene-based technologies, these spearhead projects are connected to the work packages and collaborate on research and development initiatives.
Division 1: Enabling Science & Materials
Division 2: Health, Medicine & Sensors
Division 3: Electronics & Photonics Integration
Division 4: Energy, Composites & Production
Partnering Division
Division 6: Administration & Services
2D-Experimental Pilot Line
The 2D Experimental Pilot Line (2D-EPL), a €20 million project launched in October 2020 to integrate 2D materials into silicon wafers, is the culmination of many of the Graphene Flagship’s efforts to bring graphene and related materials (GRMs) out of the lab and into commercial applications. With this project we address the industrialisation challenges of achieving reliable fabrication processes for high-volume production and establish a European ecosystem for prototype production of graphene and related materials (GRM) based electronics, photonics and sensors.
