What is the Graphene Flagship?


Bringing together 126 academic and industrial partners in 13 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.

GIANCE Online Recycling Workshop


This online workshop brings together experts from research and industry to explore innovative approaches to the recycling and reuse of composite materials, with a particular focus on carbon fibre reinforced composites. Through four complementary perspectives, the session will showcase solutions ranging from thermomechanical extrusion-based recycling and tailored recycling technologies to circular composite solutions and the recovery of high-value secondary materials. The workshop builds on GIANCE’s work on end-of-life strategies and recycling technologies, contributing to the transition towards more circular and sustainable composite value chains. Join us to exchange knowledge, discover practical recycling approaches and discuss how composite waste can be brought back into the value chain.

Seminar: Integration workflows for 2D material-based devices


This seminar will provide a comprehensive overview of the integration workflows adopted by the 2D Pilot Line’s host partners for the fabrication of 2D materials-based electronics and photonics devices. Experts from Graphenea, AMO GmbH, imec, IHP and VTT will illustrate how their facilities enable 2D materials integration by shedding light on the complete device lifecycle, from design conception and CAD implementation to tape-out file creation and testing. Particular focus will be dedicated to graphene photonic devices, manufactured in two 200 mm CMOS-compatible pilot lines, and their key processing stages, such as growth, passivation and contacting. Beyond the device fabrication itself, partners will delve into the development of dedicated process design kits (PDKs) and the implementation of the multi-project wafer (MPW) approach, essential for enabling the systematic design and scalable integration of 2DM-based devices within a foundry-compatible platform.
