Core 2 Spearheads Cross the Finish Line
We review the successes of six industry-based projects from the previous phase of the Graphene Flagship.
Collaboration breeds success in the Graphene Flagship
Collaboration is at the heart of the Graphene Flagship. Top level researchers in academia, research and industry across Europe are encouraged to discuss strategies that will push graphene to the market.
High quality boron nitride grown at atmospheric pressure
Graphene Flagship researchers reported a significant step forward in growing monoisotopic hexagonal boron nitride at atmospheric pressure for the production of large and very high-quality crystals.
Graphene Flagship partners launch call for new business ideas
Graphene Flagship partners CIC nanoGUNE and Graphenea, together with start-up accelerator BerriUP, launched a new funding programme to foster the creation of graphene-related businesses. (Picture credit: Graphenea).
Graphene Flagship launches Innovation Education and Training Platform
Our new centralised platform offers courses for researchers to learn about managing results effectively, patenting technologies, creating start-ups and more

COVID or not The Graphene Flagship keeps sailing forward
The Graphene Flagship will continue sailing forward throughout and beyond the coronavirus lockdown.
Graphene stimulates wound healing
Graphene Flagship scientists have produced a graphene patch that records the condition of chronic wounds, such as ulcers suffered by the elderly or those with diabetes, at any time. The data can be sent from home to the hospital via mobile phone, facilitating a rapid response to possible infections.
European opportunities for research and innovation with layered materials
This whitepaper was written by Graphene Flagship industrial partners, who recommend continued coherent support for research and innovation in layered materials under Horizon Europe.
Women in Graphene initiative was hosted for the first time in a 3D virtual world
Women in Graphene was held for the first time in a fully three-dimensional and interactive virtual world, with 70 delegates and a whole host of inspiring talks. The coronavirus lockdown did not stand in the way of the Graphene Flagship celebrating diversity.
Artificial fog made of hexagonal boron nitride helps lasers shine brighter and more colourful
Graphene Flagship researchers have devised a light diffuser based on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) – a layered material with the same hexagonal structure as graphene, but with complementary properties – able to convert directional laser beams into a luminous source that scatters light in all directions.
World’s first virtual scientific conference for women in graphene
Connecting the global community of women working in the field of graphene and layered materials, the Graphene Flagship is hosting its first ever digital Women in Graphene conference on 18 and 19 March 2020.
