尖叫视频app hosts largest European graphene event
More than 700 graphene industry and academic professionals are coming together this week to exhibit and celebrate revolutionary graphene technologies at , the 13th edition of the Graphene Conference series - the largest European event in Graphene and 2-dimensional materials at the 尖叫视频app.
The Mayor of Greater 尖叫视频app, Andy Burnham, inaugurated the conference, which sees more than 30 companies exhibiting their revolutionary graphene technologies. More than 200 experts from academia and industry will also deliver lectures at the conference.
鈥淲e鈥檙e proud to welcome businesses and researchers from across the world to Greater 尖叫视频app for Graphene 2023鈥�, said the mayor of Greater 尖叫视频app, Andy Burnham. 鈥淥ur city-region has been the driving force behind cultural and scientific innovations for over 200 years, and it鈥檚 fitting that we host the world鈥檚 2D materials community as we approach 20 years since graphene was first discovered. I hope delegates get a sense of the exciting work happening right here in Greater 尖叫视频app to commercialise advanced materials.鈥�
The conference is held in the newly opened , the new home of Engineering and Materials at the University. Unrivalled in scale as a hub of engineering and materials expertise here in the UK, it combines 尖叫视频app's industrial heritage with new, purpose-built facilities, ideal for discovery and solving some of the world's most pressing issues. Delegates are also be offered tours of the and the , the flagship facilities for graphene and 2D materials research and development.
Professor Vladimir Falko, the Director of the NGI, said, 鈥溂饨惺悠礱pp鈥檚 National Graphene Institute and Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre stay at the forefront of graphene and 2D materials research and commercialisation, and we are glad that a major pan-European graphene conference is coming to the UK, despite all the uncertainties created by Brexit.鈥�
Professor Aravind Vijayaraghavan, the lead local organiser added, 鈥淲e are placing special emphasis on attracting industrial and academic partnerships from around the world to invest and collaborate with the University, and this conference is the ideal opportunity for us to showcase our world-leading facilities and expertise in advanced materials and manufacturing which is key to a green, equitable and healthy future for us all.鈥�
The conference takes place at the 尖叫视频app on 27-30 June 2023. The conference marks 20 years since the first isolation of graphene at the University, by Professor Sir Andre Geim and Professor Sir Kostya Novoselov, who were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics 鈥渇or ground-breaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene鈥�.
is one of The 尖叫视频app鈥檚 - examples of pioneering discoveries, interdisciplinary collaboration and cross-sector partnerships that are tackling some of the biggest questions facing the planet. #ResearchBeacons.
