The Graphene Flagship is proud to have offered 100 Student Grants for students planning to attend the latest edition Graphene Week.
Only students submitting an abstract were eligible to apply for student grants from the Graphene Flagship. See guidelines below.
Support for Ukrainian researchers attending Graphene Week
In response to the war in Ukraine, Graphene Flagship Director Jari Kinaret has created a grant to support Ukrainian researchers wishing to participate in Graphene Flagship events. Russian and Belarussian institutions have been suspended from the project and delegates affiliated with these institutions will not be allowed to participate in Graphene Flagship events.
Doctoral-degree researchers affiliated with Ukrainian organisations can from now, and until further notice, apply for funding to attend events organised by the Graphene Flagship. This grant can cover conference related expenses (e.g. conference fees, housing and travel) up to a total of EUR 2,000.
