Sina Dörr, a PhD student at the University of Kassel, won the Impact Leader Award at Graphene Week 2025 in Vicenza, Italy. She now shares with us her thoughts on 2D materials and explains her research using transition metal dichalcogenides to improve raindrop triboelectric nanogenerators.
Have you ever considered the importance of social factors in shaping innovation outcomes?
On 17 April 2026, a total of 46 participants joined the GRAPHERGIA Hub Webinar Series 5 conversation about how advanced laser-based methods are transforming the integration of graphene and functional nanomaterials into flexible substrates and next-generation electronic devices, targeting smart textile applications.
The GRAPHEGIA team has established an advisory board, the ‘Industrial Reference Group’, to monitor the project’s innovation journey and provide direct feedback that reflects the needs and current state of the target markets and related application areas.
The Graphene Flagship project GRAPHERGIA has officially launched the piloting phase of its three demonstration cases implementing graphene-based technologies for energy harvesting and storage in real-life applications.
Welcome to the world of two-dimensional (2D) materials- Materials so thin, just a few atoms thick, which makes them both exceptionally lightweight and highly versatile. Some of these materials, such as graphene, are incredible strong, flexible, excellent conductors of electricity, and have a large surface area.
The GRAPHERGIA project has launched an initiative: GRAPHERGIA Hub, that connects stakeholders across European, national, and local landscapes. Whether you’re a researcher, entrepreneur, or industry leader, the GRAPHERGIA consortium runs a dynamic space for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and strategic partnerships for individuals or teams passionate about driving innovation in graphene-enabled energy solutions, novel smart textiles or advancing future battery technologies.
Joint workshop between Graphergia and ARMS projects contributes to the Flagship's sense of community.
A consortium of 11 partners from six European nations has officially launched the GRAPHERGIA project, an ambitious 3.5-year Research and Innovation endeavour, funded by €4.5 million under the banner of Horizon Europe's Graphene Flagship initiative. Aimed at redefining the integration of energy solutions into everyday life, GRAPHERGIA is set to transform how we use and store energy, marking a significant milestone in the journey towards a climate-neutral future.
Graphene can be produced using a range of methods, but what are the most sustainable options? To answer this question, Graphene Flagship researchers published three studies related to the sustainable production of graphene related materials and their life cycle assessment – the best tool to evaluate the environmental footprint of a product or material.
Making progress in photovoltaics
The Graphene Flagship will exhibit exciting graphene applications for the energy sector at Enlit Europe, from 29 November to 1 December 2022 in Frankfurt.
