Graphene Innovation Forum Programme
A major challenge in using 2D materials is linked to the impact of the environment on its properties. These effects are mitigated by careful material and process selection. The transition from lab – to – fab is enabled by setting up dedicated tooling and processes. Gaining insights on the source of process variations and their impact on the variability of device parameters is key to making the right choices in the set-up of pilot-line processes.
The exhibition is the ideal place for you to meet key industry leaders and learn about the latest developments and research in graphene and 2D materials and products. Delegates in Gothenburg will be able to make their way through our vibrant exhibition area and conduct enriching face-to-face interactions with industry partners as well as taking part in the program activities.
The Graphene Flagship Open Forum at Graphene Week provides an insight into the project's progress. This year’s Open Forum panel discussion will be titled “From Wonder to Action” and will focus on the Graphene Flagship journey in the past, present and future. Panelists will share their personal journeys inside the project and reflect on the next steps for graphene research and innovation in Europe.
The Diversity in Graphene session on Tuesday, 5 September will feature talks about the key elements of a healthy work culture. Déborah Rupert will present the key elements of a healthy work culture and how we can support ourselves and each other to thrive and prevent burnout. Eva Ranehill will present her research findings encompassing two pivotal topics: female leadership and the impact of PhD studies on mental health care uptake.
Diversity in Graphene Programme
Want to learn more about what the future holds for 2D materials research and innovation in Europe? This session will look at the future of the Graphene Flagship initiative and the European landscape for 2DM research and innovation. How does the Horizon Europe funding mechanism look for 2D materials research and innovation? What will the Partnerships mean to the graphene funding ecosystem? How will the project look as it sails on?
The Graphene Flagship's success stems not just from its partners, but also from the collaborations with organisations and projects beyond the Graphene Flagship. This session highlights success stories from Graphene Flagship Partnering Projects and Associated Members.
The Graphene Flagship is building a global, collaborative network of graphene researchers and industry partners. The workshop is co-organised by the Graphene Flagship and Khalifa University. This workshop will provide the opportunity for researchers and industry stakeholders in Europe and United Arab Emirates to discuss topics of common interest, share research results with promising application potential and explore possible new collaborations and incubation of joint ventures.
This session brings together a selection of industrial players in the field of 2D flexible materials, to present the special aspects faced in the early stage of industrial innovation for a traditional and conservative market.
