GrapheneEU – Coordination and Support Action (CSA)

Chalmers Industriteknik is managing the Industrialisation tasks in the GrapheneEU project. This is a key element in maximising the impact of the Graphene Flagship initiative in terms of new products, new companies, and new jobs in Europe.

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 overall coherence of the Graphene Flagship initiative is guaranteed by a Coordination and Support Action (CSA) that allows the separate actions to exploit synergies in their scientific and technological activities and work more efficiently by utilising common services and support functions.

GrapheneEU builds upon the extensive experience and expertise of a consortium that has been responsible for the central support and coordination functions of the Graphene Flagship during the FP7 and Horizon 2020 phases and therefore has access to the broad network of researchers and organisations which will participate in the Graphene Flagship initiative. GrapheneEU ensures a strong and coherent initiative by providing key support functions in coordination and governance, industrialisation, dissemination and alignment, enabling the participating projects to identify and utilise synergies in their work, share best practices, and promote interactions with relevant national and regional initiatives. GrapheneEU will help secure a sustained European leadership in 2DM by capitalising on the investments in the Graphene Flagship from the FP7 and Horizon 2020 phases and fostering and facilitating the work to be continued during Horizon Europe.

Chalmers Industriteknik is managing the Industrialisation tasks in the GrapheneEU project. Industrialisation support is a key element in maximising the impact of the Graphene Flagship initiative in terms of new products, new companies, and new jobs in Europe. On this matter, GrapheneEU partners collaborate with the RIAs/IAs through three interlinked tasks: roadmapping, standardisation and innovation support. Here, Chalmers Industriteknik is responsible for innovation support.
