Expected Outcome:

Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:

• Well-coordinated European, national and regional initiatives in the field of graphene and two-dimensional materials (2DM);
• Further development of a strong European innovation ecosystem in 2DM-based technologies.

Scope:

Proposals should support the coordination between relevant national and regional public authorities funding research and innovation in 2DM-based technologies. This coordination should allow them to work synergistically with the goal to strengthen and complement the EU funded activities in the domain.

Coordination and support activities should address all of the following:

• Active networking of relevant initiatives and R&I communities.
• Active follow-up of the projects funded under FLAG-ERA^[1].
• Maintaining an inventory of funding and scientific landscapes in the domain of 2D materials in Europe, for both basic and applied research.
• Analysing gaps and overlaps and contributing to topics that could be included in national/regional research agendas in the field.
• Supporting the national and regional actors to organise joint calls for proposals between their respective programmes and initiatives for supporting in Europe the further development of a strong innovation ecosystem in Graphene.

Projects should build on or seek collaboration with existing projects and develop synergies with other relevant European, national or regional initiatives, funding programmes and platforms.

In this topic, the integration of the gender dimension (sex and gender analysis) in research and innovation content is not a mandatory requirement.
