Graphene Flagship Events

Building community. Driving innovation. Shaping the future. Graphene Week has done it for two decades—and Porto 2026 continues the legacy. Join us in Porto, 21-25 September!

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.

Join us for the third session of the GRAPHERGIA Hub Webinar Series, co-organised with the POLYGRAPH project. This session will highlight the latest advances in wearable sensor technologies using laser-induced graphene and MXenes, exploring new methods to make these materials biocompatible and suitable for skin-contact applications. Discover how these innovations are shaping the next generation of smart, flexible, and responsive wearables.

Join leading European researchers and innovators to explore how graphene is reshaping materials science, sensing technologies, and multifunctional devices. This workshop — organised in cooperation between the MUNASET and GIANCE projects — highlights tangible advances from synthesis to scalable applications, fostering collaboration and paving the way toward industrial adoption.

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).

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.

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.
