Graphene Flagship partner TU Dresden recently kicked off its brand new Young Researcher Group Graphene Center Dresden (GraphD), supported by the European Social Fund (ESF).
GraphD consists of three postdocs, six PhD students, and the research group leader Dr Reinhard Berger. Aims of the group are, amongst others, to attract the world’s most renowned young scientists in the field, train outstanding experts for Saxony’s industry, enforce the innovation potential of local companies, and to efficiently complement the regional cluster of ‘Silicon Saxony’.
In addition TU Dresden has also initiated a new path dedicated to 2D materials in future electronics within the Cluster of Excellence Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed). Both the GraphD and the new path will be led by Professor Xinliang Feng, leader of the Graphene Flagship work package Functional Foams and Coatings.

Graphene Flagship
Bringing together 118 academic and industrial partners in 12 research and innovation projects and 1 coordination and support project, the Graphene Flagship initiative will continue to advance Europe’s strategic autonomy in technologies that rely on graphene and other 2D materials. The initiative, which builds on the previous 10-years of the Graphene Flagship, is funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. The 2D-Experimental Pilot Line, addressing the challenges of upscaling 2D material production processes for the semiconductor industry, is another key component of the Graphene Flagship eco-system.
