The goals and activities of FLAG-ERA are, in close connection with the two Flagships :
To set up mechanisms to facilitate and encourage integration of nationally/regionally funded research into the Flagship work plans
To maintain an inventory of funding and scientific landscapes in the domains of the Flagships
To analyse overlaps & gaps to adapt national/regional research agendas in the domains of the Flagships
To launch dedicated transnational initiatives, for instance joint calls, allowing researchers from several countries to join forces
To network with potential new participants
To disseminate project information to relevant stakeholders
The Graphene Flagship is tasked with bringing together academic and industrial researchers to take graphene from the realm of academic laboratories into European society in the space of 10 years, thus generating economic growth, new jobs and new opportunities.
The core consortium consists of over 150 academic and industrial research groups in 23 countries. In addition, the project has a growing number of associated members that will be incorporated in the scientific and technological work packages from the Horizon 2020 phase (1 April 2016 – 31 March 2018).
