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.
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.

The Graphene Week 2024 stands at the forefront of cutting-edge research, innovation, and technology. As Europe's leading event on 2D Materials, supported by the European Commission, it unites over 500 international experts and students to discuss key topics concerning to graphene and 2DM. In 2024 the programme welcomes over 200 speakers, the Innovation Forum, the Exhibition and dedicated sessions on diversity, early career development, EC future opportunities, 2DM for the future and much more. Join us for the 19th edition of Graphene Week in Prague, let’s turn wonder into action!
