Crystals Webinar | Recent Advances in Graphene and Other Two-Dimensional Materials: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications, 28 January 2026
Message from the webinar Chair:
We are pleased to invite you to participate in this webinar dedicated to the latest developments in the science and technology of graphene and 2D materials.
The aim of this webinar is to bring together leading academic scientists, early career researchers and members of the materials science community to share their perspectives, experiences, and recent research achievements in the rapidly evolving field of graphene and two-dimensional materials.
This webinar also serves to celebrate the success of the current Special Issue and to officially open the second edition of “Recent Advances in Graphene and Other Two-Dimensional Materials,” offering a renewed opportunity for researchers to disseminate their latest findings in full open access.
The event will provide a high-quality interdisciplinary platform to present and discuss the most recent advances in synthesis, structural and optical characterization, modelling, device integration, and emerging applications.
Graphene and related 2D materials continue to attract significant interest worldwide due to their unique electronic, optical, mechanical, and thermal properties. Their potential impact spans flexible nanoelectronics, sensing and biosensing, energy storage and generation, photonics, and semiconductor technologies. In this webinar, chairs and keynote speakers represent different stages of their scientific careers, reflecting the inclusive and collaborative spirit of the 2D-materials community. MDPI strongly promotes the visibility and growth of early-career scientists, and this event provides a valuable opportunity for them to showcase their work alongside established experts, fostering dialogue, inspiration, and new scientific connections.
We warmly invite the scientific community to join us to contribute to an engaging dialogue on the future of graphene and two-dimensional materials.
