Video: Graphene is... Collaboration
Chairman of the Graphene Flagship Executive Board Ken Teo from Aixtron Limited in the United Kingdom highlights the importance of international collaborations to the project.
International Workshops
A mechanism for exchange on the latest developments in the field of graphene and 2D materials with leading groups worldwide and to identify common challenges and opportunities for collaborations.
The Graphene Flagship develops its international collaborations around a series of workshops with several countries to discuss the latest advances in graphene and related 2D materials research, and identify opportunities for future collaborations. Workshops are jointly organised in Europe and overseas by Graphene Flagship and counterpart researchers in the United States, Japan, Korea, Australia and China. Some of the international activities, in particular with the United States, Korea and Japan, began during the ramp-up phase and have continued in Core 1 and Core 2. Some new ones, namely with China and Australia, were launched in Core 1 and Core 2 respectively.
The key areas of interest and global challenges in the field that have emerged systematically during these interactions are the synthesis and exploration of fundamental materials properties, as well as GRM processing and device engineering. Other areas of high interest, in line with the higher TRL trends within the Graphene Flagship, are energy applications, graphene production and its use for protective coatings and composites. Certification and standardisation services, as well as commercialisation and technology roadmap are among hot topics of common interest explored in the frame of the international workshops. More industry driven discussions and interactions are expected to take place in future events.

Upcoming Events
Singapore-EU Workshop 2023
Australia-EU Workshop 2023
The 3rd Australia-EU Workshop on Graphene and Related Materials will be held on 30-31 March 2023 in Melbourne, Australia. By bringing together leading researchers from Europe and Australia, this workshop aims at being an open forum to discuss cutting-edge research in the field and foster scientific exchanges, practices and ideas related to the current and emerging topics associated with graphene and 2D materials. Several topics will be discussed, from application and commercialization to new fundamental concepts, synthesis, composites, membranes, biomaterials, electronics, sensors, composites, coatings and energy devices.
Graphene Study 2023
The Graphene Flagship hosts Graphene Study to help PhD students and early career researchers develop into outstanding researchers in graphene. This edition will explore 2D materials for tomorrow. What is next? What can we expect from graphene science and applications in the future? View the full agenda below.
Diversity in Graphene Career Day 2023
In this free, hybrid Diversity in Graphene Career Event, we will have an interactive panel discussion about science and social media with current Graphene Flagship researchers and social media influencers who focus on science and technology. They will tell us about their lessons learnt, mission and challenges. Finally, is science communications helpful for career progression? The event is open to the participants of Graphene Study 2023 and anyone who wants to join us remotely. Save the date on your calendar: 4 April 2023, 14:30-15:30 pm (CEST).
JEC World 2023
Come visit the Graphene Flagship at booth M75 in Hall 5 of the JEC World Composites Show to be held 25-27 April 2023 at Paris Nord Villepinte. Featuring ground-breaking solutions, unique manufacturing and business opportunities, JEC World is a networking hub of creativity, vision and action. It shows how composite materials push the limits of your projects and ambitions.
Graphene Flagship Division II Symposium
This invitation only Symposium aims to celebrate the achievements and completion of the Graphene Flagship Division II (Health, Medicine, Sensors) project that will take place back in Rome, Italy where we all embarked on this journey. It will feature Keynote speakers from outside the Graphene Flagship, oral and poster presentations from all the Division partners and a celebratory Gala Dinner on the evening of 28 April.
