The Diversity in Graphene initiative aims to create a collaborative research environment where everybody feels welcome, without any prejudice. The initiative holds two annual meetings, a career day and a meeting at the Graphene Week conference.
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.
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.
SAFARI, in collaboration with MUNASET is organising an online workshop focused on advancing the safe, sustainable, and scalable integration of MXenes and other 2D materials into industrial applications.

This digital workshop, organised by Chalmers Industriteknik, explores the current state of graphene commercialization and the key challenges that must be addressed to scale graphene-based materials to market. Experts from industry, investment, and end-user companies share perspectives on production scale-up, investment readiness, industrial validation, and commercialization pathways. The program begins with a general overview of where graphene stands today, followed by an outline of the main hurdles to commercialization, including cost, dispersion, regulation, processing, sustainability, and demand creation. These challenges are illustrated through real-world examples from material producers, investors, and industrial users. The workshop concludes with a panel discussion focused on what is missing today and what is needed to move graphene to the next stage of market adoption.
Join the 5th Scientific Session of the GRAPHERGIA Hub Webinar Series, where cutting-edge research meets real-world innovation in graphene and nanomaterials. The session will explore how advanced laser-based methods are transforming the integration of graphene and functional nanomaterials into flexible substrates and next-generation electronic devices, targeting smart textile applications. Professor Seoung-Ki Lee (Pusan National University, South Korea), will join to present an innovative laser-induced photothermal approach for the selective synthesis and functionalisation of nanomaterials. His work demonstrates how precise control of laser irradiation can activate localised regions within a substrate, enabling targeted material growth and integration. The webinar will also feature updates on GRAPHERGIA’s progress in developing a novel laser Roll-to-Roll pilot line, followed by a Q&A discussion with participants.
Many early-career researchers start thinking about career options after a PhD or postdoctoral position. While academia is one possible path, many scientists build successful careers beyond academia in industry, startups, consulting, policy, and other sectors. This workshop explores different career paths after a PhD. Researchers who have transitioned from academia to industry and other professional environments will share their experiences. Each speaker will give a short presentation about their career transition from academia, followed by a panel discussion and audience questions. The event is mainly aimed at PhD students and postdoctoral researchers who want to learn more about non-academic careers for researchers and explore possible career directions outside academia. The workshop also aims to highlight women in science and technology from our network who are building impactful careers in a range of fields.
AMO GmbH, the Aachen Graphene & 2D Materials Center, and RWTH Aachen University will continue their successful series of events dedicated to 2D materials. This year's workshop on “2D Materials for Future Electronics” will take place in person on March 3–4, 2026, in Aachen, Germany, bringing together leading researchers and industry experts to explore the latest advances and future opportunities for electronic applications. The workshop will feature a special hybrid session in collaboration with 2D-PL, which will be live-streamed from 16:50-18:05 on 3 March 2026, allowing remote participants to actively interact with speakers and the in-person audience.
As AI and generative AI tools rapidly enter the world of academia, understanding how to use them effectively has become essential. This digital workshop offers an introduction to the benefits and challenges of integrating AI into research workflows. Aimed at students and early-career researchers, the session will highlight applications in publishing, communication, productivity, and responsible research practices. Speakers from the Institute of Physics Publishing, The Science Talk, CeADAR and the Graphene Flagship will share practical guidance and reflections. Join us on the 27 January 2026 at 13 (CET).
This collaborative workshop between 2D-PL, GATEPOST, Next-2Digits and 2DNeuralVision brings together leading European industry experts from Akhetonics, Black Semiconductor, and Thales Group to discuss the evolution of next-generation datacom devices. Through complementary industrial and system-level perspectives, the speakers will address key challenges, emerging technology directions, and the role of photonic integration in future communication architectures. The workshop aims to stimulate exchange between research and industry and to highlight innovation pathways within the photonics ecosystem. Join us on the 21 January, 14:00 - 16:00 (CET)
At SEMICON Europa, the 2D Pilot Line (2D-PL) project showcased its work driving the next phase of Europe’s semiconductor innovation by advancing the integration of 2D materials into photonics and electronics. This initiative focuses on providing end-to-end prototyping services for the integration of graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) into established silicon-based platforms. The 2D-PL aims to bring 2D material (2DM) fabrication closer to industrial readiness by developing and validating processes in a FAB-relevant environment. Its module development is focused on photonic and electronic devices and circuits, addressing the needs of research organisations, SMEs, large companies, integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) and foundries across Europe.

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!
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).
