What is the Graphene Flagship?
Bringing together 118 academic and industrial partners in 12 research and innovation projects and 1 coordination and support project, the Graphene Flagship initiative will continue to advance Europe’s strategic autonomy in technologies that rely on graphene and other 2D materials. The initiative, which builds on the previous 10-years of the Graphene Flagship, is funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. The 2D-Pilot Line, strengthening the European ecosystem in the development of integration modules for photonics and electronics prototyping services, is another key component of the Graphene Flagship ecosystem.
Events
IOP Publishing Workshop @ Graphene Week 2024
While the 2D materials community celebrates 20 years since the isolation of graphene, IOP Publishing’s 2D Materials journal celebrates its 10-year anniversary. The journal will mark this occasion with a special contribution to the Graphene Week 2024 conference to be held in Prague, Czech Republic. Join the “Publication and peer review” workshop providing instruction for PhD students and early career researchers on how to make it as an author and a reviewer in journals. IOPP will also organise a focus issue in 2D Materials based on Graphene Week 2024 with contributions from speakers. Authors are welcome to contribute an original research paper, topical review or perspective. The focus issue will be showcased on a dedicated webpage and promoted extensively to the community.
Innovation Forum @ Graphene Week 2024
The Innovation Forum focuses on innovation and commercialisation of applications containing 2D materials. Here is an opportunity to hear about successful implementations and challenges from both start-ups and larger corporations. The presentations during the Innovation Forum are short and sharp, which gives more time for interaction through discussions and questions. Interactive panel discussions with industrial representatives will probe into future application. The Graphene Flagship’s work in both standardisation and roadmapping will be presented. There will also be opportunities to network and discuss ideas and future collaborations with the presenters as well as fellow attendees.
Diversity in Graphene @ Graphene Week 2024
Equity, Inclusion & Diversity (EID) is not just a catch phrase, having a diverse and inclusive work environment encourages creativity, collaboration and effectiveness. This session explores the importance of diversity in research institutions and the benefits and challenges associated with creating an inclusive environment. Speakers will explore their experiences and an open discussion on challenges faced and mechanisms for creating inclusive environments will be encouraged. Join us for a networking dessert after lunch before the session kicks off.
2D-PL @ Graphene Week 2024
The 2D-Pilot Line (2D-PL) project aims to further strengthen the European ecosystem in the development of integration modules for photonics and electronics prototyping services. It will work to mature semiconductor technologies and provide information to aid industrial uptake. This session will highlight the work done to mature these technologies over the past four years and the work planned for the next phase of the project.

STO Statement "Forging Ahead"
Flash Graphene: Trash to Treasure
The applications for graphene use are broad, having altered the composition of electronics, energy storage and biomedical devices, sensors and composites and coatings over the past two decades. This is all due to its exceptional mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. However, what are the environmental impacts of its use and how does the cost limit its application?
Exploring the Marvels of 2D Materials
Properties and Applications of TMDCs, MXenes, h-BN and h-AlN -- In the realm of materials science, the discovery of graphene heralded a new era of exploration into two-dimensional materials (2DM). Since then, a plethora of novel 2D materials have emerged, each with unique properties and promising applications. Among these, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), MXenes, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and hexagonal aluminum nitride (h-AlN) have garnered significant attention for their diverse range of properties and potential applications. In this article we delve into the properties and explore the exciting applications of these remarkable materials.
