Graphene Flagship Launches Second Expression of Interest
Following the first Expression of Interest launched in January 2015, the Graphene Flagship launches a second Expression of Interest for new industrial partners to be incorporated under the Horizon 2020 phase.
The Flagship’s overriding goal is to take graphene, related layered materials and hybrid systems from a state of raw potential to a point where they can revolutionize multiple industries. This may bring a new dimension to future technology and put Europe at the heart of the process, with a manifold return on the investment as technological innovation, economic exploitation and societal benefits.
This requires the focus of the Flagship to evolve over the years, placing more resources in areas where this transition is more likely. To accomplish this we are looking for new industrial partners that bring in specific industrial and technology transfer competences or capabilities that complement the present consortium.
The selected new partners will be incorporated in the scientific and technological work packages of the core project under the Horizon 2020 phase of the Flagship that will run during 1 April 2016 – 31 March 2018.
Submission is open until 22 February 2016, 08:00 a.m.

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.
