Project ARMS researchers engage in collaborative exchange at the Graphene Flagship Common Kick-Off Meeting and Science and Technology Forum
Five researchers from the ARMS project joined the Graphene Flagship Common
Kick-off Meeting and Science and Technology Forum, organised on 5-6 February
2024 by the Graphene Flagship Coordination and Support Action project and
hosted by Chalmers University of Technology, in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The Kick-Off gathering held on February 5th convened collaborators from 13 EU-funded initiatives linked to the Graphene Flagship. During the meeting, the ARMS project had the opportunity for face-to-face interactions with the other 12 RIAs/IAs participating in this collaboration, including GATEPOST, Next-2Digits, 2NEURALVISION, GRAPHERGIA, MUNASET, 2D-BioPAD, GIANCE, 2D-PRINTABLE, 2D ENGINE, 2D-SPINTECH, 2D-EPL, and SAFARI. Each project delivered insights into their objectives and upcoming initiatives. Additionally, the event featured concurrent sessions, including the Project Managers Working Group, the Innovation Working Groups, and Coordination Board Meetings. The objective of the meeting was to strengthen connections and collaboration among the RIAs/IAs as they collectively strive to transition graphene technologies from labs to markets.
The event marked the official start of the cooperation between the 13 RIAs/IAs, addressing the goals that these projects have in common. It also focused on innovation road-mapping, standardisation, and outreach opportunities to expedite the practical applications of graphene.
The Science and Technology Forum held on February 6th delved into the trajectory of graphene advancement and EU funding, emphasising the European Union’s strategic initiative, Innovative Advanced Materials for the EU (IAM4EU). It was underscored during the Forum that the upcoming years will play a critical role in shaping the future of 2D advanced materials.
The gathering fostered invaluable face-to-face interactions, enabling deeper understanding and collaboration among the participating projects. Overall, it was a rewarding experience facilitating future collaborations.
