Seminar: Integration workflows for 2D material-based devices


This seminar will provide a comprehensive overview of the integration workflows adopted by the 2D Pilot Line’s host partners for the fabrication of 2D materials-based electronics and photonics devices. Experts from Graphenea, AMO GmbH, imec, IHP and VTT will illustrate how their facilities enable 2D materials integration by shedding light on the complete device lifecycle, from design conception and CAD implementation to tape-out file creation and testing. Particular focus will be dedicated to graphene photonic devices, manufactured in two 200 mm CMOS-compatible pilot lines, and their key processing stages, such as growth, passivation and contacting. Beyond the device fabrication itself, partners will delve into the development of dedicated process design kits (PDKs) and the implementation of the multi-project wafer (MPW) approach, essential for enabling the systematic design and scalable integration of 2DM-based devices within a foundry-compatible platform.

The Graphene Flagship organises a variety of events for researchers, industry and early career researchers in order to inspire you to engage in better research, innovation and collaboration. The project is also represented at external tradeshows and exhibitions. 

Which events are right for you?

For Researchers


Our events for researchers include our annual conference Graphene Week, our International Workshops which encourage collaborations with researchers in many other parts of the world, and our digital events.

For Industry


The Graphene Flagship organises several events for industry including the Graphene Marketplace events hosted by Graphene Flagship partners who wish to promote graphene applications in their companies and Innovation Workshops created to foster innovation projects between academia and industry.

In addition to our own industry events, the Graphene Flagship showcases graphene applications at industry tradeshows and exhibitions.

2D Pilot line: hands-on design training


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).

EU-Egypt Workshop on Sustainable Multifunctional Materials and Structures


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.
