Graphene Flagship Events

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 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.

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.

This workshop will focus on the Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SRIA) for Innovative Advanced Materials set by the IAM4EU partnership. During the event, we will present the content SRIA, engage in discussions, and collaboratively refine this document based on the outcomes of these discussions. Your expertise and insights will be invaluable in shaping the future of advanced materials research in Europe!

ARMS, GRAPHERGIA, SOLiD and SUPERIOT will hold the joint workshop "Synergizing Sustainability: Integrating Advanced Energy Storage with Harvesting for Wearable Electronics" on June 30 from 14:00 to 17:00. This workshop will delve into the forefront of energy-autonomous self-powered wearable electronic devices, focusing on the dynamic interaction between energy harvesting systems and transformative energy storage solutions, specifically batteries and supercapacitors.

If you are attending Graphene 2024, don't miss Graphene Flagship project GIANCE's workshop on June 26. Discover insights on sustainable graphene, printed technologies, graphene-based membranes, and more. Also, Kari Hjelt from Chalmers Industriteknik will be talking about the 10 years of Graphene Flagship and the way ahead, offering unique insights you won’t want to miss!

Materials Week 2024 aims to bring together – for the first time – the numerous small and large Research and Innovation (R&I) communities that are driving advances in materials innovation manifested across diverse value chains and industrial markets. The Graphene Flagship is responsible for the session on Sustainability & Circularity driven by Advanced Materials. You can also find us in the following training courses: "How to expand the use of your test method? – Validation is key towards standardisation" and "Standardisation needs for regulatory testing of graphene and related 2D materials".

This free, lunch-to-lunch event will celebrate the 2D Experimental Pilot Line (2D-EPL) results and its progress towards creating an ecosystem for 2D materials integration in semiconductors for electronics, photonics, sensors and biomedical devices. The symposium will focus on photonics and biomedical applications and the benefits and challenges of industrial uptake for these technologies.

This workshop, hosted by the Graphene Flagship's 2D-EPL and its partner AMO, will examine electronics based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). This free hybrid event will take place in Aachen, Germany as part of the two-day event on 2D Materials for Future Electronics. Attendees are welcome to join in-person for the full two-day event, or online for the 2-hour digital 2D-EPL workshop.

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.
