Chalmers University Of Technology, Gothenburg Wins Billion-euro EU Science Prize

29 Jan 2013

The European Commission announced that researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg have been awarded 1 billion Euros for their research work in developing graphene.

Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) prize was given to Professor Jari Kinaret, lead Professor of The Graphene Flagship.

"You've heard of Silicon Valley. I want Europe to be home to its successor – Graphene Valley,"

"Although the flagship is extremely extensive, it cannot cover all areas,"

"Graphene production, however, is obviously central to our project."

Graphene is an extremely light form of single-layered carbon which could revolutionize electronics. The material would be of great help to automobiles and plane industry.

“The Graphene Flagship's mission is to take graphene and related layered materials from academic laboratories to society, revolutionize multiple industries and create economic growth and new jobs in Europe,"

Each project that won the prize in Brussels will be granted 10 years worth of funding for their ground breaking research.
