Aachen Graphene & 2D Materials Center
From material science to new device applications
On September 22, 2026, the Aachen Graphene & 2D Materials Center welcomed a delegation of researchers from Japan for a one-day networking workshop at RWTH Aachen University. The meeting brought together scientists working across a broad range of topics in graphene and two-dimensional materials, from materials growth and characterization to quantum phenomena, photonics and electronic devices.
We are pleased to announce the DGKK Seminar on Growth Kinetics and Layer Transfer of Ultra-Thin Layers and 2D Materials, taking place November 23–24, 2026, at RWTH Aachen University.
On 03–04 March 2026, 127 researchers and industry experts gathered at the SuperC at RWTH Aachen University for the 2nd workshop “2D Materials for Future Electronics.” The event proved to be a great success, bringing together a vibrant community to exchange ideas and explore emerging developments in the field.
The 2nd Workshop on “2D Materials for Future Electronics” will take place on March 3–4, 2026, in Aachen, Germany, bringing together leading researchers and industry experts for a two-day, in-person exchange on recent advances and future perspectives of two-dimensional materials in electronic applications.
