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.
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.
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.
