The both EU-funded initiatives, GRAPHERGIA and Graphene Flagship, work to advance technologies that rely on graphene and other two-dimension (2D) materials.
The Graphene Flagship brings together 118 academic and industrial partners in 12 research and innovation projects and one coordination and support project. GRAPHERGIA is part of it to contribute to Europe’s strategic autonomy in technologies that rely on graphene and other 2D materials, in our case, to fight Europe’s energy crisis.
The Flagship 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. Moreover, 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 ecosystem.
Inside the Flagship, we are actively participating and contributing in four groups:
- Coordination Board – where the sibling project coordinators aim to establish synergies among their project implementation. Our coordinator, Foundation For Research and Technology Hellas (FORTH), represents the GRAPHERGIA project in this board.
- Associated Mechanism to Onboard New Members – where all associated partners bring efforts to find new members for the Graphene Flagship ecosystem.
- Dissemination Working Group – where the communication and dissemination leaders of the sibling projects exchange their knowledge and opportunities among the project partners to increase their impact to the stakeholders community. Our communication and dissemination leader, AUSTRALO Marketing Lab (AUS), represents the project in this Working Group.
- Roadmap Officer for Standardization Activities – where the expert partners leading the standardisation efforts discuss and search relevant standards to be implemented in the development of the innovative 2D material solutions and methodologies.
GRAPHERGIA’s sibling projects at the Graphene Flagship
Our eleven sister projects act in six different core areas related to research and innovation in graphene and 2D-materials. These areas include energy, 2D-materials of tomorrow, safe by design, composites, biomedical and electronics and photonics. All these projects, along with GRAPHERGIA, are part of the Graphene Flagship community.
Find out more about the sibling projects from the different focus areas:
- Energy: GRAPHERGIA, ARMS.
- 2D-materials of tomorrow: 2DSPIN-TECH, 2D ENGINE, 2D-PRINTABLE.
- Safe by design: SAFARI.
- Composites: GIANCE.
- Biomedical: MUNASET, 2D-BioPAD.
- Electronics and photonics: GATEPOST, Next-2DIGITS, 2DNEURALVISION.
More about the Graphene Flagship: #GrapheneEU
The Graphene Flagship initiative aims at advancing Europe’s strategic autonomy in technologies that rely on graphene and other 2D materials and sustaining the first-mover advantage that Europe has obtained through earlier investments. The overall coherence of the Graphene Flagship initiative is guaranteed by a Coordination and Support Action (CSA), co-funded by the EU, that allows the sibling projects to exploit synergies in their scientific and technological activities and work more efficiently by utilising common services and support functions.
