Dublin Research Group Secure EU Funding
Trinity College Dublin’s CRANN centre has secured a significant role in a massive €1 billion flagship EU funded research project.
The largest research project ever funded by the EU Commission, the Graphene Flagship project, will see 126 academics and industry groups from 17 countries will work on 15 individual but connected projects.
Professor Jonathan Coleman from CRANN and TCD's School of Physics has been chosen to act as deputy leader to one of these individual projects.
As a result CRANN will initially receive sufficient funding to hire three new researchers, and together with scientists working in other countries, they will research methods of developing Graphene.
Considered by scientists to be a wonder material of the future, Graphene is the strongest, most impermeable and most conductive substance known to man.
While only one atom thick it is 200 times stronger than steel, it is expected that Graphene will become of fundamental importance to manufacturing.
