Los días 22 y 23 de junio de 2016 organizamos en la Fundación Ramón Areces un simposio internacional sobre 'Materiales bidimensionales: explorando los límites de la física y la ingeniería'. En colaboración con el Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), científicos de este prestigioso centro de investigación mostraron las propiedades únicas de materiales como el grafeno, de solo un átomo de espesor, y al mismo tiempo más resistente que el acero y mucho más ligero.

3. About the Graphene Flagship
• The Graphene Flagship is a Future and Emerging
Technology (FET) Flagship initiated by the European
Commission (EC)
• A total budget of €1 billion, of which the EC funds
50%; the remaining 50% is funded by national sources
and by flagship partners
• Coordinated by Chalmers University of Technology,
Gothenburg, Sweden
• The project does not interfere with national programmes
or other EU initiatives but it is aligned.

28. Examples of expected PPs
• EC-funded: PolyGraph and Gladiator, industrially oriented
• MS funded:
• Outcome of the recent JTC, 13 projects, mostly on very
low TRLs
• Other existing national projects, e.g. from GrafTech
(Poland), DFG Priority Program (Germany), or SIO-Grafen
(Sweden) programs
• In the future, we would like to see more applied PPs in line
with the overall evolution of the flagship
• Probably best to limit the number of PPs to a few dozen,
otherwise the benefits will get diluted and the system
becomes unmanageable
• New (trans-national) programs needed

29. Survey to Research Funding Organisations
Challenges
Need for more transparency and proactive sharing of data on public national research funding
and priorities in order devise a proper accounting system, monitor funding trends and prepare future
plans
Need for long term/strategic planning at the national level (priority programmes, centres of
excellence, infrastructures)
Data from 28 agencies

30. European Projects mapping-institutions
216 partners in EC collaborative projects are not part
of the GF consortium
• Graphene Flagship Core 1 partners
represent between 20-30 % of the
overall GRM research community
in Europe

EUREKA Clusters are strategic initiatives proposed and led by industry, developing
generic technologies of key importance for European competitiveness. Clusters facilitate
R&D and innovation projects on the basis of a broad industrial participation spanning
large industry and SMEs as well as research institutions and other public or private
organisations.
Research institutions can join Eureka clusters, participating in the proposals/projects as
subcontracted member.
