GIANCE at Graphene Week 2026: Showcasing Innovation and Advancing Graphene Applications
GIANCE took centre stage at Graphene Week 2026, bringing together cutting-edge research, innovative technologies and valuable opportunities for collaboration within the European graphene community.
A particularly engaging day featured the dedicated “GIANCE – From Innovation to Impact” workshop, alongside several scientific presentations highlighting the project’s latest achievements and the potential of graphene-based solutions across different industrial applications.
Throughout the event, GIANCE partners shared their research findings, demonstrating how advanced graphene materials can contribute to more sustainable technologies, from green hydrogen production and storage to printed electronics and smart sensing applications.
Among the scientific contributions:
- Paolo Mariani – Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche presented research on rGO-based cathodes for sustainable hydrogen production.
- Maria Pervolaraki – Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH) explored laser-induced graphene electrodes for green hydrogen applications.
- Mathieu CHIRAT – FORVIA, highlighted the potential of graphene oxide for developing lighter and more sustainable hydrogen composite cylinders.
- Cristina Martínez Oliver, PhD – Eurecat – Technology Centre showcased graphene-based printed sensors for applications ranging from structural health monitoring to biomedical technologies.
GIANCE’s participation provided an important opportunity to share scientific progress, exchange knowledge and strengthen connections with the wider Graphene Flagship community.
By connecting research with industrial needs, the project continues to support the development of innovative, sustainable and market-oriented graphene solutions.
