Over the course of 3 days, the experts held in-depth discussions with the Graphene Consortium. The overall conclusion is that the Flagship has made good scientific and technical progress over its first year of activities. This review also confirms that the impact of graphene as the first of a new class of 2-Dimensional single-layer materials promises to be revolutionary in a wide range of potential applications and uses. Some of these are still in the early research stage, while for others attention is already turning towards the challenges of innovation and exploitation. The experts confirmed that the project is providing worldwide credibility and visibility to the EU investments in graphene.
The experts have now finalised their detailed report and the main conclusions and recommendations of this report have now been published.
