Technion researchers to join the Graphene Flagship project The Graphene Flagship, one of the largest-ever European research initiatives, is doubling in size. 66 new partners are being invited to join the consortium following the results of a €9 million competitive call. While most partners are universities and research institutes, the share of companies, mainly SMEs, involved is increasing. This shows the growing interest of economic actors in graphene. The partnership now includes more than 140 organisations from 23 countries. It is fully set to take wonder material graphene and related layered materials from academic laboratories to everyday use. The 66 new partners come from 19 countries, six of which are new to the consortium: Belarus, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary and Israel. Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms – may be the most amazing and versatile substance available to mankind. The Graphene Flagship is the EUs biggest research initiative ever, and, according to the European Commission, historys greatest distinction for excellent research. With a budget of EUR one billion, the Graphene Flagship is tasked with taking graphene from the realm of academic laboratories into European society in the space of ten years, thus generating economic growth, new jobs and new opportunities for Europeans as both investors and employees.
