Partnerships strengthened during Graphene Week 2024

Joint Biomed Workshop during Graphene Week 2024 strengthens collaboration between 2D-BioPAD and MUNASET projects

Graphene Flagship projects 2D-BioPAD and MUNASET hosted a joint workshop on 17 October 2024, during Graphene Week 2024, aimed at fostering collaboration and exploring synergies in the areas of 2D Materials (2DM) for biomedical applications. The event showcased both organisations' commitment to advancing cutting-edge solutions that address pressing biomedical global challenges under the banner of the Graphene Flagship.

The workshop brought together experts, researchers and industry leaders to present and discuss the latest trends and developments in bioengineering, biosensing, and antimicrobial resistance, with a focus on creating impactful innovations that can benefit citizens, patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals and health systems. Participants engaged in open dialogue and knowledge-sharing sessions, exploring new avenues for cooperation and identifying potential joint initiatives for future research and innovation projects.

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.
