FLAG-ERA launches fifth call for transnational projects
FLAG-ERA has launched its fifth call for transnational projects in synergy with the Graphene Flagship and Human Brain Project – EBRAINS. An information webinar about the call will be organised on March 16, 2021.
On March 9, 2023, FLAG-ERA announced its fifth Joint Transnational Call (JTC2023) in support of projects in synergy with the Graphene Flagship and the Human Brain Project – EBRAINS. The call aims to add a fifth wave of transnational partnering projects to support and extend these two Flagship initiatives. An information webinar about the call will be organized on March 16, 2021.
The full proposal submission deadline is June 1, 2023.
The national and regional research funding organisations in FLAG-ERA join the agenda of two large-scale European initiatives: Graphene Flagship and Human Brain Project – EBRAINS. The present call aims at supporting the integration of the respective national and regional research communities into the European-wide effort that they represent. Building on ten years of outstanding collaboration, the objective is to leverage on the initiatives’ achievements and evolutions to look to the future under the renewed context of Horizon Europe:
- TheGraphene Flagship will benefit from a continued and significant support of the European Commission.
- Human Brain Project – EBRAINS is evolving towards a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC).
Both initiatives, launched in 2013 as FET Flagships, address grand and multidisciplinary scientific and technological challenges, built around an ambitious unifying vision. Their overarching nature and magnitude imply that they can only be realised through a federated and sustained effort.
In this context, FLAG-ERA, the ‘Flagship ERA-NET’, gathers national and regional funding organisations in Europe and beyond with the goal of supporting, together with the European Commission, these initiatives and their research areas: Graphene and 2D materials and computational neurosciences.
The FLAG-ERA call for transnational projects aims at supporting the integration of the respective national and regional research communities.

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.
