Brief History
Established in 2006, Graphene Week holds the distinction of being the longest-running nonprofit event in the field of graphene and 2D materials. Since its creation, this event has played a central role in shaping the discourse surrounding graphene research and its innovation.
It all began with a gathering of 47 graphene experts in Dresden in 2006, who met to explore the potential of this groundbreaking material, isolated by Nobel laureates Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov just two years prior, in 2004.
Over the years, this event has continuously evolved to embrace new developments and discoveries in the field. In 2013, Graphene Week's path merged with that of the Graphene Flagship, marking a significant turning point. As graphene's landscape expanded, so too did Graphene Week, encompassing diverse fields, from applications to innovations.
Now in its 20th edition, Graphene Week continues to attract interest from various fields such as energy and biomedicine, showcasing graphene and related 2D materials endless possibilities. What sets Graphene Week apart is its nonprofit status, developing an environment of collaboration and innovation, where attendees can engage in discussions, interactive workshops, and poster sessions.
Graphene Week promises a diverse and enriching journey, inviting you to be part of the ongoing advancement in graphene exploration and innovation at this year's event.
