Joint Transnational Call brings in 13 new projects
Graphene Flagship will take on board 13 partnering projects, as a result of a Joint Transnational Call, with a total budget of 9,9 million €.
The Joint Transnational Call, initially launched in October 2014 by FLAG-ERA, is designed to expand the current flagship to new researchers while also supporting researchers already in the flagship. Thus, strengthening the Graphene Flagship to achieve its science and technology targets.
Speaking of this latest development, Graphene Flagship director Professor Jari Kinaret says, “The Joint Transnational Call strengthens the Graphene Flagship greatly on the lower technology readiness levels, and demonstrates a good alignment between the EC-funded part of the Flagship and the investments by the member states. We are looking forward to working with these projects and the organisations participating in them.”
Among the 13 new project, four are in the scientific area of advanced nanofabrication and spintronics, three are in the area of new layered materials and heterostructures, while the others cover various different areas: immunogenomics and proteomics; biological and chemical sensors; functional coatings; nanofluidic applications; computational modelling of devices and systems and prototypes.

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.
