Graphene celebration event on way to city
MANCHESTER is hosting the ninth international conference on the science of graphene next month.
From June 22 to 26, the city is celebrating the revolutionary material in the event otherwise known as Graphene Week.
It will centre on an academic conference which brings together scientific experts to discuss the progress being made with the new material that was first isolated at The University of Manchester in 2004.
Up until now, Graphene Week has been staged in various locations across Europe and the US, bringing global recognition to the properties and potential of the world’s thinnest, strongest and most conductive material.
Graphene Week 2015 comes soon after the official opening of the £61m National Graphene Institute (NGI) at The University of Manchester
It is organised by The Graphene Flagship and hosted by The University of Manchester.
In addition, Business Growth Hub is organising Graphene Industry Workshops at the National Graphene Institute – a series of opportunities for leading business figures and manufacturers to explore the commercial potential for graphene.
