The Graphene Flagship is research, innovation and collaboration
Funded by the European Commission, the Graphene Flagship aims to secure a major role for Europe in the ongoing technological revolution, helping to bring graphene innovation out of the lab and into commercial applications.
The Graphene Flagship gathers 170+ academic and industrial partners from 21 countries. Bringing diverse competencies together, the Graphene Flagship facilitates cooperation between its partners, accelerating the timeline for industry acceptance of graphene technologies. Have a look around!
What's new
Terahertz imaging of graphene paves the way to industrialisation
Graphene Flagship researchers have developed a new measurement standard for the analysis of graphene and layered materials that could accelerate production and optimise device fabrication.
Promoting workplace equality in materials science
To help ensure equal and inclusive work conditions in STEM, the Graphene Flagship is holding a career event as part of its Diversity in Graphene programme.
Spotlight: The bigger picture of European research with Ana Helman
Meet Ana Helman, who works at the interface between the Graphene Flagship Core Project and other national and international research initiatives.
Graphene for foam and coating applications
Based at Technische Universität Dresden, Ali Shaygan Nia is a business developer for graphene-based coatings and composites for environmental applications such as air and water purification and anticorrosion coatings. Shaygan Nia has a PhD in polymer chemistry and more than six years’ experience developing graphene and 2D materials for composites and coatings. He also has experience on graphene-based product development and commercialisation by acting as application engineer at the Graphene Flagship's spin-off Sixonia Tech. Shaygan Nia now offers his thoughts on the current state of graphene in foam and coating applications.
TAILSPIN engineers switchable graphene nanoribbons
Researchers from FLAG-ERA’s TAILSPIN project ‘take a dip’ in the quantum world and push ahead with low-power transistors based on semiconducting graphene nanoribbons
Graphene Flagship Spearheads
Developing new and improved products with integrated graphene or related materials. The Graphene Flagship funds a number of spearhead projects, initiatives with well-defined, application-oriented objectives that are motivated by market opportunities. These spearheads focus on a wide range of application areas, but all have the common goal of developing new or improved products with integrated graphene or related materials.
Events
Diversity in Graphene Career Event 2021
Graphene Week 2021
Graphene Week is Europe´s Leading Graphene Conference, bringing together the latest innovations and leading-edge technology and research on graphene from more than 200 experts related to industry and academia meeting to explore the hottest topics influencing the field (industry). The 15th edition of Graphene Week will be held in Strasbourg, France, 20-24 September 2021.
Sustainability
The Graphene Flagship delivers concrete opportunities for innovation to address some of the major societal challenges in Europe. However, this effort would be meaningless without focusing heavily on sustainable development. Overall, our projects contribute to 11 SDGs. We believe graphene and layered materials will play a key role in the green revolution.
