The world’s graphene and 2D materials community will gather in Porto, Portugal, from 21–25 September for Graphene Week 2026, the 21st edition of Europe’s leading conference dedicated to graphene and related two-dimensional materials. For the first time in its history, Graphene Week will take place in Portugal, bringing more than 400 researchers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs and students together with Portugal’s growing advanced materials ecosystem.
The Korea Carbon Nano Industry Association (KCANIA) celebrated its acceptance as the Graphene Flagship's first overseas Associate Member at the Global Graphene Commercialization Summit 2026 hosted by South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy at the Korea Science and Technology Centre in Seoul.
After winning the Best Poster Award for Processing at Graphene Week 2025, Dmitriy Poteryayev from Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, shares insights into his research, presentation experience and future ambitions. Read our interview with this promising early-career researcher.
Meet Harvey Stanfield, a PhD student in experimental condensed matter physics at the University of Manchester a partner in the Graphene Flagship's 2DSPIN-TECH project.
The ID10 SURF team at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) plays a key role in the 2D-ENGINE consortium by providing advanced X-ray tools and expertise to study and validate 2D materials. As a partner, ESRF supports the project’s goal of developing high-quality, controlled 2D layers by enabling operando measurements and detailed structural characterisation critical for designing reliable synthesis protocols.
Graphene Flagship spin-off CamGraPhIC has been given approval by the European Commission for €211 million in funding by the Italian State to build a new class of optical technology designed to solve one of artificial intelligence’s most pressing physical limits: how data moves inside advanced computing systems.
The Graphene Flagship organised the 20th edition of Graphene Week, taking place 22–26 September 2025 in Vicenza, Italy. As Europe’s longest-running and leading forum on graphene and 2D materials, the event served both as a celebration of progress achieved and a catalyst for future discoveries.
Effective 1 March 2025, Maria Abrahamsson will take on the position of Graphene Flagship Director. Abrahamsson will replace Patrik Johansson who served as Graphene Flagship Director since October 2023 and as Vice-Director for three years before that.
