The GIANCE project is set to revolutionise material solutions across multiple industries by introducing a new generation of sustainable graphene-based materials (GRM-bM) that combine enhanced performance with a significant reduction in environmental impact. By focusing on circular design, lightweight construction, and multifunctionality, GIANCE aims to reduce energy consumption, cut CO2 emissions per vehicle over its lifetime, and promote material recyclability.

Launched in October 2024, the Graphene Flagship’s 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.

We are excited to bring you the latest news on the 2D-PRINTABLE project, and its developments in novel 2D materials and heterostructures for Printed Digital Devices using sustainable liquid exfoliation and deposition methods. In this edition, we highlight significant advancements and key milestones achieved by our partners across Europe.

INBRAIN Neuroelectronics SL, has raised $50 million to develop its graphene-based neural technologies.

The plant will be the first in the world to produce two-dimensional crystals on an industrial scale, and is expected to reach over 30 tons annually by 2028.

Joint workshop between Graphergia and ARMS projects contributes to the Flagship's sense of community.

Kari Hjelt and Henning Döscher of the Graphene Flagship, have collaborated on a new article published in Springer Nature Electronics titled: “The commercialisation of graphene electronics.”

Joint Biomed Workshop during Graphene Week 2024 strengthens collaboration between 2D-BioPAD and MUNASET projects

Due to the early days of the material, graphene standards are still a work in progress. At the same time, they are a much-needed prerequisite if graphene is to be used on a larger industrial scale.

Alignment with national and regional initiatives in Europe has been one of the main tasks of the Graphene Flagship, since the beginning of its journey. Established in the Horizon 2020 (H2020) phase, the Association Mechanism has attracted over 200 Associated Member (AM) organisations and over 130 Partnering Projects (PP), under the Flagship umbrella over the past ten years.

The 19th Graphene Week conference, hosted in Prague, Czech Republic, on 14-18 October highlighted the progress made in graphene and 2D materials (2DM) research and innovation since the isolation of graphene in October 2004.

All eight European partners in the GATEPOST project celebrated a particularly pleasing event at the last six-monthly meeting. The project, funded by the European Commission through Horizon Europe, the European Framework Programme for Research and Development, has an ambitious goal. The development and production of a new type of graphene-based chip is intended to turn existing computer technology and IT security upside down and revolutionise them," explained Dr Mindaugas Lukosius of IHP GmbH Leibniz Institute for Innovative Microelectronics and lead partner in the project.

A report on the Graphene Flagship has been published giving a comprehensive overview of the main scientific, technological and industrial achievements in an important technology field.

Ten years have now passed since the kick-off of the Graphene Flagship with European researchers joining forces in developing 2D materials-based processes, material and device models, devices and circuits exploration paving the way towards uptake of this material in various application fields. The 2D Experimental Pilot Line project offers the unique setting for research institutes and industry to jointly develop the essential building blocks for 2D material (2DM) deposition, post-processing and integration evaluation focusing on the domain of sensors, photonics and electronics.
