The Graphene Europe in the Lead (GrapheneEU) Coordination and Support Action (CSA) ensures the overall coherence of the Graphene Flagship. Building on ten years of experience providing central support and coordination to the Graphene Flagship, the GrapheneEU project partners will help to unite the new Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Actions (RIAs) and Innovation Action (IA) projects and provide services to help increase the initiative’s visibility, effectiveness and voice. 

The CSA’s primary function is to encourage collaborations and knowledge transfer between the RIA/IA projects and with the broader 2D materials (2DM) community. GrapheneEU ensures a strong and coherent initiative by providing key support functions in coordination and governance, industrialisation, dissemination and alignment, enabling the participating projects to identify and utilise synergies in their work, share best practices and promote interactions with relevant national and regional initiatives.

GrapheneEU will help secure a sustained European leadership in 2DM by capitalising on the investments in the Graphene Flagship from the FP7 and Horizon 2020 European funding programmes and fostering and facilitating the work to be continued during Horizon Europe.

The Next-2Digits project will develop three graphene enabled applications: miniaturised light detection and ranging (LiDAR) with an integrated graphene photodetector (PD) for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV); a PIC greenhouse gas sensor offering multi-sensing capability; and an on-chip polarisation diversity receiver (PDR) with extended bandwidth and high resolution. 

These innovative applications will contribute to the fields of sustainable and efficient environmental monitoring and medical diagnostics, with the aim to solve application-specific challenges that hamper the wide adoption of graphene and 2D materials (2DM) in optoelectronics and sensors.

The main challenge is to ensure the compatibility of the newly introduced 2DM transfer technologies with the SOI platforms and the processes involved in both the fabrication of the waveguides and the integration of the chips, while keeping the 2DM layers intact and defect-free.

On 26 June 2024, ESF celebrated its 50th anniversary!

This event not only marked half a century of ESF's presence in the scientific landscape, but also set the stage for envisioning its future in terms of sustainable and impactful research management, addressing the evolving challenges in the management of research and reinforcing ESF's commitment to fostering a collaborative and inclusive research environment.

A Graphene Flagship partner since its inception, ESF has successfully led the tasks related to European alignment, support and coordination of the partnering environment, and international collaborations in the project’s three core phases. Leveraging over 10-years’ participation in the Graphene Flagship, ESF is currently maintaining its leading role in the coordination of European and International alignment initiatives in the GrapheneEU CSA. 

Here's to many more years to come! 🥂

The GATEPOST project aims to revolutionise data processing and the security of the IoT through a ground-breaking approach based on graphene. The project focuses on the combination of graphene with standard CMOS processes, which if successful will lead to a breakthrough in data processing and storage. 

The project’s vision is a graphene-based computing platform, which will enable network security with low power consumption, low latency and high bandwidth. Additionally, the GATEPOST technology is expected to consume 100 times less power than current data centre equipment. 

The realisation of this solution will serve as first industrial use-case and thus not only prove the viability of 2DM as a non-linear photonics platform for graphene-based photonics technologies and devices, but also demonstrate a significant increase in performance at lower power consumption.

Graphene Flagship sails into Horizon Europe

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 ecosystem.
