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-Experimental Pilot Line, addressing the challenges of upscaling 2D material production processes for the semiconductor industry, is another key component of the Graphene Flagship eco-system.

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.

ESSERC 2024 “2D Materials: Challenges and Opportunities" Workshop
2D materials have triggered enormous interest over the past 15 years, thanks to their interesting electronic and optical properties, which have propelled them as viable candidates for replacing/complementing the good-old Silicon in future semiconductor technology nodes. Nevertheless, several tough challenges need to be addressed to take the opportunities ahead. In this workshop, we will give an account of a few relevant R&D areas, outlining key attention points in material growth, integration, and reliability, and we will sample applications domain opportunities, underlining the unique advantages of the 2D materials, which recommend them as prime contenders for continuing the physical/functional scaling, as well as for expanding into the applications space, for the years/decades to come.
