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.
International Workshop Series
Upcoming Events
Safe, Sustainable, Scalable: Making MXenes work for Industry
Connecting 2D Materials Innovation for Diverse Applications
This webinar features leading European projects working on advanced 2D materials (2DM) and their application in the next-generation devices. The event will focus on how materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) can be engineered to support new applications in electronics, sensing, and device manufacturing. Speakers from NanoIC, FAMES, APECS, and the 2D-PL will present current challenges and recent progress in the integration of TMDs and graphene, covering processes such as growth, characterisation, pulsed laser annealing, and transfer, while preserving their properties for device fabrication. The session will end with a Q&A and panel discussion on future opportunities and challenges in the field of 2D materials.
High-Performance Flexible Micro-Supercapacitors and Advanced Self-Healing Battery Technologies
The sixth edition of the GRAPHERGIA Hub Webinar Series explores recent advances in flexible micro-supercapacitors and self-healing battery technologies: two key areas shaping the future of energy storage. As demand grows for intelligent devices, wearable electronics, medical sensors, electric mobility, and sustainable energy systems, researchers are developing innovative solutions that deliver higher performance, greater durability, and improved safety. This webinar features leading experts from the GRAPHERGIA and PHOENIX projects to discuss cutting-edge developments that could transform next-generation energy storage technologies.
