WELCOME

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to Obergurgl and the Graphene Flagship’s sixth school on graphene and related materials; Graphene Study. Graphene Study 2019 will cover a broad scope: Fundamental science and material synthesis for graphene, 2 dimensional materials (2DM), their heterostructures, and 2DM applications for electronics, spintronics and optoelectronics. We have an excellent scientific programme prepared for you.

On behalf of the Organisers of Graphene Study 2019, I welcome the participants to an intense programme of reviews on the current state of the art in the synthesis, fundamental science and optoelectronics applications of 2D materials. This year, Graphene Study incorporates a one-day meeting of the Graphene Flagship Division ‘Enabling Science and Materials’, where the presentations by Graphene Flagship researchers will give a snapshot of the ongoing activities.

Scenic Obergurgl, nestling amidst Tirol’s winter paradise with absolute

snow guarantee, is also known as the “Diamond of the Alps”. The stylish

winter resort at the southern end of the valley has 24 mountain lifts and

110 kilometers of immaculate ski slopes – connected with the neighboring

hamlet of Hochgurgl. Among the absolute must-sees during your ski

vacation: Top Mountain Star panorama bar at 3,080 meters above sea

level and Hohe Mut vantage mountain overlooking the upper Ötztal Valley

and its abundant snow fields.

The Obergurgl University Center’s history dates back to 1951, when three

former customs buildings were converted for use by the Obergurgl federal

Sports Center and Innsbruck University’s Alpine Research Center. This

marked the beginning of a focus on sports and science with international

participation. Famous mountain guides, ski instructors, and researchers

worked here and made many major contributions to sports and science in

the Alps.

All delegates of Graphene Study will stay in twin or triple bed rooms at the

Obergurgl University Center.

Wi-Fi access code will be provided in

the keycard pocket received during

check in.

Check-in: 14:00

Check-out: 10:00

WORKSHOPS

The Ethics Gym: Responsible Research and Innovation in Real Scenarios

Tuesday 5 February at 14:00 - 15:40 by Norberto Patrignani and Steven Savage, Graphene Ethics Advisory Board

Ethics is usually considered a separate field from science and technology, or it is considered just a brake or a nuisance for real projects and activities related to research and innovation. Indeed, any artifact can be seen as a "socio-technical system", since technology and society co-shape each other, also, the EU Framework Programs defines RRI as "scientific research and technological development processes that consider effects and potential impacts on the environment and society", an ethical approach that could enable even better research and development projects. But how can these nice definitions be applied in real scenarios like the ones involved with Graphene Flagship? The seminar, starting from the assumption that ethics competence and skills can be developed by putting interesting questions, will apply these concepts in an interactive session by analyzing some cases related to Graphene Flagship with the simple circular process.

Nature Workshop: How to write a good paper Monday 4 February at 14:00 - 15:40 by David Abergel, Nature Research

The goal of this workshop is to give you strategies for writing papers that are

suitable for journals with a broad readership. After briefly describing the various

Nature-branded journals and what our editors look for in a paper, we will discuss

how to write a good abstract, how to construct the main body of a paper, and

how to put together a persuasive cover letter. We will also do some exercises

and practice based on your own research.

Nobel Laureate Meeting Thursday 7 February at 12:40 – 13:00 with Nikolaus Turner

Every year more than 30 Nobel Laureates convene in Lindau to meet the next generation of leading scientists: 500-600 undergraduates, PhD students, and post-doc researchers from all over the world. The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings foster the exchange among scientists of different generations, cultures, and disciplines.

The 69th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting gives to outstanding young scientists the opportunity to discuss key questions in physics. In 2019, the focus will be on cosmology, particle physics and quantum technology.

In this session you will learn more about the Meeting and how you could be one of the selected attendees for the edition 2019.”

POSTER PRESENTATIONS

Graphene Study 2019 Poster Sessions

Poster Session I - Monday 4 February, 19:00

Poster Session II - Tuesday 5 February, 19:00

Poster Session III - Thursday 7 February, 19:00

Poster Presentation Guidelines

• The size of the poster board is 1200 mm (tall) x 900 mm (wide). The

poster board can take an A0 poster in ‘Portrait’ layout (A0 prints measure

841mm x 1189mm). Your poster number is located at the top left-hand

corner of the board. Find your poster board number in the online

programme (available at a later point) and on the signs at the venue.

Push pins will be available for your use.

• The way you present your poster is your choice – many people bring

one poster to fit the board and some bring several mounted boards

and spread them across the poster board. Do not mount a poster

larger than the area allowed, it will be removed.

• Each participant will have 2 hours to discuss their poster. During the

presentation, members of the committee will question participants

about their presentation, touching on hypothesis, methods, results and

conclusions.

• The poster should be in place during the lunch (13:00-14:00) of the

day of your poster session and removed during the coffee-break

(10:40-11:00) of the next day.

Poster Award Ceremony

Each winning poster recipient will receive a certificate, acknowledging them

as poster finalists and they will be recognized at the awards ceremony held

during the Farewell Dinner.

The scientific committee will identify

three best posters based on:

• significance of findings.

• visual impact of the

poster.

• presenter’s ability to

explain their work/

answer questions.
