Graphene Flagship continues its voyage

The Graphene Flagship is sailing on to new horizons, under a different funding structure that adapts to the widening European ecosystem around graphene and layered materials.

Building on a decade of success, the Graphene Flagship will now continue its journey under the European Commission's Horizon Europe funding programme.

Bringing together 118 academic and industrial partners in 12 research and innovation projects and 1 coordination and support project with a combined budget of nearly €100M, the Graphene Flagship initiative will continue to advance Europe’s strategic autonomy in technologies that rely on graphene and other 2D materials.

The projects will work on applications in key areas from composites and energy to biomedical and electronics. Fundamental work on emerging two-dimensional materials will also be addressed in our 2D materials of tomorrow projects. Research into health and safety will continue to be an integral part of the initiative.

Taking the Helm

With this new phase of the Graphene Flagship comes new leadership. Patrik Johansson, formerly Vice-Director for the project, will step up as the new Graphene Flagship Director.

"I'm excited to see the 2D materials community in Europe continue to grow with the launch of the new Horizon Europe projects. It will be interesting to see the new ideas that come from this latest European investment in graphene and other 2D materials," Johansson says.

Horizon Europe

The Graphene Flagship initiative is funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme, which puts a strong emphasis on tackling climate change and addressing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

Furthermore, the programme facilitates collaboration, strengthening the impact of research and innovation in developing, supporting and implementing EU policies while tackling global challenges. It supports the creation and dissemination of excellent knowledge and technologies.

Finally, Horizon Europe will create jobs, fully engage the EU’s talent pool, boost economic growth, promote industrial competitiveness and optimise investment impact within a strengthened European Research Area.

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.
