European Commission funded research project, the Graphene Flagship, held its annual Open Forum discussion on Monday 23 September. As the first presentation of Graphene Week 2019 – Europe’s leading graphene and layered materials conference – the Open Forum announced the latest advances from research within the Graphene Flagship and its potential to improve Europe’s environmental crisis.

Thomas Skordas, Director for Digital Excellence and Science Infrastructure, takes a look at the latest developments in graphene research on the occasion of Graphene Week 2019 – Europe's leading graphene conference, which brings together the latest innovations, leading-edge technology and research on graphene and other layered materials.

Next week, the Graphene Flagship will hold its annual conference – Graphene Week 2019. Coinciding with Finland’s third EU presidency, Graphene Week 2019 will take place from 23-27 September at the Marina Congress Centre in Helsinki, Finland. Hosted by Graphene Flagship partner VTT, the leading research and technology company in the Nordic countries, the conference will reveal the latest developments in graphene and related layered materials (GRMs) from over 700 experts in the field.

The Graphene Flagship has long been committed to investing in young, talented scientists to assist in the research and development of graphene and related materials. We interviewed early career researchers from the Graphene Flagship's Core partners, AMs and PPs about their time collaborating with the project and their expectations ahead of Graphene Week 2019.
