Graphene Flagship Events

This collaborative workshop is organised to foster knowledge exchange between EU and Egyptian researchers, industry representatives, and academia, focusing on the dissemination of key research outcomes from three EU-funded projects: SALIENT, GIANCE, and BIOntier. Each project offers innovative advancements across critical sectors such as automotive, aerospace, energy, and water treatment, enhancing sustainability, circularity, and multifunctionality of materials and structures. Participants will engage through structured technical presentations, interactive workshops, hands-on training sessions, and dedicated networking activities. The goal is to leverage EU research excellence, build local capacity, and initiate new collaborative partnerships, ultimately contributing towards sustainable and resilient economic growth in Egypt and the broader MENA region.

This two-day, in-person training is offered by the 2D Pilot Line (2D-PL) project. Expert trainers from project partners will deliver IC design skills to enable access to multi-project wafer runs for all attendees – creating the opportunity to become a 2D-PL customer and “share the mask to share the price”. The event will start with a session of introductory seminars, diving into the framework of the 2D-PL in the EU semiconductor ecosystem and showcasing the technologies offered to potential users. The trainings will involve hands-on practice on Cadence and KLayout with four Project Design Kits (PDKs) for graphene-based devices (Graphene FET – GFET, graphene-based Photonic Integrated Circuits – PICs, graphene-based Biosensors) manufactured by four 2D-PL consortium members – VTT (Finland), IHP (Germany), Graphenea (Spain), AMO (Germany).

Supported by the European Commission, Graphene Week stands at the forefront of cutting-edge research, innovation, and technology. As Europe's leading and longest-running graphene conference, it unites over 500 international experts and students to discuss key topics concerning graphene and 2D materials. The 20th edition of Graphene Week will be held in Vicenza, Italy, 22-26 September 2025!

Join us for the online workshop "Pioneering 2D Materials for Biosensors," where experts in the community will share how graphene and 2D materials are revolutionizing biosensor technologies for diagnostics and monitoring therapy.

The ability to solution-process and print nanomaterials has enabled huge advances in their characterisation and application in energy generation and storage, optoelectronics and composites. While the recent focus has been on 2D materials, there remains considerable interest in the solution-processing of 1D nanotubes and nanowires as well as 0D nanoparticles.

The 9th EU-Korea Workshop on Graphene and 2D Materials will be held on 26 May 2026 in Strasbourg (France). This bilateral workshop follows up on the long-established collaboration between the Graphene Flagship and the Korean Graphene Society. Hosted by 2D PRINTABLE, the main aim of the meeting will be the discussion and exchange of ideas and best practices on current and emerging topics associated with the 2D materials synthesis and production, multi-scale studies of their physical and chemical properties, as well as application development and commercialisation for graphene and related 2D materials in (opto)electronics, energy and composites.

The digital workshop on Advancing Sustainability in 2D Materials highlights the latest advancements in eco-design, green synthesis, and lifecycle assessment, presented in a fully online format. This session brings together experts from research and industry to explore sustainable approaches to 2D material development and energy storage technologies.

This second GRAPHERGIA Hub Webinar Series is dedicated to discussing sustainability principles to evaluate the environmental and socio-economic methodologies for products’ eco-design. In this scientific session, we will present the eco-design principles for materials, process and development phases, while sharing insights from the key methodologies used for sustainability research, including Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Cost (LCC) and Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA).

JEC World gathers the whole value chain of the composite materials industry in Paris (France) every year and is “the place to be” for composites professionals from all over the world. The GIANCE project will host a workshop at JEC 2025 on 4 March to discuss graphene integration, production and processing, and recycling techniques, in addition to open call from the Horizon Europe initiative. If you're interested in 2D materials or these funding opportunities, join us!

The 2D-PL workshop Advanced Characterisation Methods workshop highlights the latest innovations in analysing and advancing 2D materials, presented in a hybrid format with live streaming as it is embedded in the in-person workshop "Novel (2D) Materials and Their Applications" in Aachen. The session opens with an introduction to the 2D-Pilot Line project, the follow-up to the 2D-EPL, focusing on scalable production and integration of 2D material technologies. Abbas Mohtashami from TNO, one of the new partners of the 2D-PL, presents advancements in Scanning Nitrogen-Vacancy Microscopy as a high-resolution characterisation tool for 2D material devices. The final talk, contributed by Gertjan van Baarle (LPM) and project partner of 2D Engine, delves into in-situ tools for real-time characterization and manipulation of 2D materials during and after growth on liquid metal catalysts via CVD. Join us online and gain valuable insights into the forefront of 2D materials research and technology.

The Innovative Advanced Materials Initiative invites you to IAM-I Day, to be held 19 November from 14:00- 18:30 in Brussels at BluePoint (Address: Blvd Auguste Reyers 80, 1030 Brussels, Belgium). This session aims to share the status and next steps of the partnership association. For that, we will count on the participation of the European Commission, among other stakeholders. For the first time, the IAM-I community will have the opportunity to meet and mingle in person! Please note that seats are limited and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage you to register as soon as possible.

The 2D-Pilot Line (2D-PL) project aims to further strengthen the European ecosystem in the development of integration modules for photonics and electronics prototyping services. It will work to mature semiconductor technologies and provide information to aid industrial uptake. This session highlighted the work done to mature these technologies over the past four years and the work planned for the next phase of the project.

Equity, Inclusion & Diversity (EID) is not just a catch phrase, having a diverse and inclusive work environment encourages creativity, collaboration and effectiveness. This session explored the importance of diversity in research institutions and the benefits and challenges associated with creating an inclusive environment. Speakers explored their experiences and was followed by an open discussion on challenges faced and mechanisms for creating inclusive environments.

The Innovation Forum focuses on innovation and commercialisation of applications containing 2D materials. It provides an opportunity to hear about successful implementations and challenges from both start-ups and larger corporations. The presentations during the Innovation Forum are short and sharp, which gives more time for interaction through discussions and questions. Interactive panel discussions with industrial representatives probe into future application. The Graphene Flagship’s work in both standardisation and roadmapping were presented. There are also always opportunities to network and discuss ideas and future collaborations with the presenters as well as fellow attendees.
