Graphene Week: Something for everyone

The 19th edition of Graphene Week, to be held in Prague, Czech Republic 14-18 October 2024 will offer a rich programme as the Graphene Flagship celebrates its new projects and 20 years of 2D materials research and innovation since the isolation of graphene.

This year, the Graphene Week programme will benefit from the unique expertise of our 12 Research and Innovation Actions (RIAs) and Innovation Actions (IAs) each focused on specific areas of 2D materials. The projects will work with us on creating both parallel sessions and workshops within their areas. Attendees will also have a chance to learn about our new projects in the Graphene Flagship Exhibition.

As in the past, the core of Graphene Week will focus on graphene and 2D materials research with an emphasis on excellent science from leading researchers. Keynotes from Yuri Gogotsi, Valeria Nicolosi, Arben Merkoçi and Manuela Melucci will open each day.

Our Innovation Forum, helps to connect industry and science, with discussions on commercialisation challenges, industrial successes and more. This year a special focus on standardisation and roadmapping will help to identify the work needed to ensure that graphene for commercial applications is of reliable standards to ensure reproducibility in manufacturing. A workshop in conjunction with REACH-ECHA will explore the materials classification of graphene and other 2D materials. 

Beyond research and innovation, Graphene Week is a fantastic venue for students to build skills, such as in IOP Publishing's session on how to become a peer reviewer. It also provides a platform for the community to discuss salient topics, like diversity, equity and inclusion in science, in the Diversity in Graphene Session, as well as being a great space for networking. Our welcome reception and conference dinner provide time to rekindle old friendships, meet new members of the community and spark future collaborations.

We look forward to meeting you all in Prague this fall!

Graphene Week 2024


Supported by the European Commission, Graphene Week 2024 stands at the forefront of cutting-edge research, innovation, and technology. As Europe's leading and longest-running graphene conference, it unites over 500 international experts and students to discuss key topics concerning graphene and 2D materials. In 2024, the program welcomes over 200 speakers, an Innovation Forum, an Exhibition, and dedicated sessions on diversity, early career development, EC future opportunities, and 2D materials for the future. Join us for the 19th edition of Graphene Week 2024 in Prague, and let’s turn wonder into action!

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.
