Graphene Flagship Events

Graphene Week is Europe's Leading Graphene Conference, bringing together the latest innovations and leading-edge technology and research on graphene from more than 200 experts related to industry and academia.

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 tools 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.

In this workshop, organised as part of the Graphene Week 2023 programme, attendees had the chance to learn about the ongoing research activities and real-world technology transfer applications in the United Arab Emirates, including spin-offs from the Graphene Flagship. The Research & Innovation Center for Graphene and 2D Materials, at Khalifa University, is very focused on the commercialization of research and addresses challenges from the region with innovations in construction, health care, aerospace, energy and water purification. Apart from presentations, this session provided opportunities to discuss topics of common interest, explore possible new collaborations, and a Q&A session.

This year's event included 1-to-1 career coaching sessions and talks about creating a healthy work culture.

Graphene Week 2023 inspired a fusion of graphene research and technology with industrial innovation – it is where science meets business! The Graphene Innovation Forum is a good spot to learn about the latest graphene innovations, spin-off company successes, and the future of the graphene industry.

Every second year, Euronanoforum brings industry, academia, policy makers and other stakeholders together to discuss developments on nanotechnologies in an open forum. In 2023, the EuroNanoForum will be held in Sweden, 11-13 June. The Graphene Flagship will exhibit and contribute to the event's scientific programme.

The workshop is focused on the usage of 2D materials in sensors. It presents the newest updates from the 2D-EPL project and the offered multi-project-wafer (MPW) runs. The industry presentations showcase the unique possibilities of 2D materials in sensing.

The 6th Japan-EU Workshop on Graphene and Related Materials was held in Tokyo (Japan) on 25-26 May 2023. This workshop was a forum for the exchange of experiences, practices and ideas related to the current and emerging topics associated with the fundamental materials synthesis, physics and devices for graphene and related 2D materials. During this event, major scientific achievements, most urgent open questions and newly identified challenges were addressed. Additional objectives included exploring further possibilities for collaborative research opportunities between researchers in Europe and Japan.

The 8th EU-Korea Workshop on Graphene and Related Materials will be held on 22 - 23 May 2023 in Seoul (Republic of Korea). This workshop is aimed at providing a Forum for the exchange of experiences, practices and ideas related to the current and emerging topics associated with the basic chemistry, physics and engineering approaches comprising materials synthesis, study of fundamental properties via multi-scale characterisation, application development and commercialisation for graphene and related 2D materials. In addition, the objective is to explore and promote further collaborative research opportunities between researchers in Europe and Korea.

This first United Arab Emirates - EU Graphene Flagship workshop, co-organised by the EU Graphene Flagship and Khalifa University, aimed at presenting the ongoing research activities on both sides and discussing possible international collaborations. The EU's Graphene Flagship delegation comprised key leaders in fundamental research, materials production and applications, including representations from EU industries. This two-day workshop provided 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 workshop took place on 26 April at JEC World in Paris.

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.
