Università degli Studi de L’Aquila Consiglio Nazionale delle ricerche A Multidisciplinary and Intersectorial Workshop on Synthesis, Characterization and Technological Exploitation of Graphene http://graphita.bo.imm.cnr.it This page intentionally left blank GraphITA 2015 Workshop Graphene and 2D materials beyond graphene: New Era and Future Technologies GraphITA lands back in Italy! The fourth edition of the GraphX conference series, once again "GraphITA", will take place in Bologna (September 14-18 2015). GraphITA 2015 will follow three previous successful events: GRAPHEsp2014 (Lanzarote Spain), GrapHEL 2012 (Mikonos Greece), and GraphITA 2011 (L'Aquila, Italy). Since the seminal event of GraphITA 2011, graphene based research has witnessed an incredible expansion, which, for example, in Europe has culminated with the launch of the Graphene Flagship, one of the largest ever financed research initiative of the old continent. In particular, in the very last years, not only graphene but a wide class of 2D materials beyond graphene (Silicene, BN, MoS2) were attracting the interest of both research institutions and private stakeholders. GraphITA 2015 aims at keeping the spirit of the previous editions, bringing together scientists and engineers working on different technological uses not only of graphene, but also of 2D materials beyond graphene, in a multidisciplinary and multisectorial (academia/industry) environment. As in the previous editions, participation of early stage researchers, PhD students and post-docs is strongly encouraged, with a particular care to all the emerging countries, south and east Europe. http://graphita.bo.imm.cnr.it Organization and Sponsors Chairs Vittorio Morandi, CNR - IMM, Bologna (Italy) Luca Ottaviano, University of L’Aquila (Italy) Local committee Luca Ortolani, CNR - IMM, Bologna (Italy) Piera Maccagnani, CNR - IMM, Bologna (Italy) Alberto Roncaglia, CNR - IMM, Bologna (Italy) Giorgia Giovannini, CNR - IMM, Bologna (Italy) Nicoletta Randi, CNR - IMM, Bologna (Italy) Raffaello Mazzaro, CNR - IMM, Bologna (Italy) Martina Pittori, CNR - IMM, Bologna (Italy) Andrea Liscio, CNR - ISOF, Bologna (Italy) Emanuele Treossi, CNR - ISOF, Bologna (Italy) Manuela Melucci, CNR - ISOF, Bologna (Italy) Organization office Dr. Marcella Tusa, Events Manager, Milano (Italy) Email: mail@marcellatusa.net Media and press office Maddalena Scandola, Communication Office, CNR Nano (Italy) Email: comunicazione@nano.cnr.it Partners and Sponsors Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche http://graphita.bo.imm.cnr.it Università degli Studi de L’Aquila ASTER Emilia-Romagna Scientific Committee Carla Bittencourt - University of Mons, Belgium Luigi Colombo - Texas instruments, USA Christos Dimitrakopoulos - University of Massachusetts, USA Chris Ewels - CNRS IMN, France Andrea Ferrari - Cambridge University, United Kingdom Costas Galiotis - FORTH, Greece Mar Garcia Hernandez - ICMM/CSIC, Spain Alexander Grueneis - University of Cologne, Germany Karsten Horn - Max Planck Gesellschaft, Germany Olga Kazakova - National Physical Laboratory, United Kingdom Antonino La Magna - CNR-IMM, Italy Elisa Molinari - University of Modena and Reggio Emilia & CNRNano, Italy Marc Monthioux - CNRS CEMES, France Alberto Morgante - CNR-IOM & University of Trieste, Italy Vincenzo Palermo - CNR-ISOF, Italy Vittorio Pellegrini - IIT and CNR-Nano, Italy Rita Rizzoli - CNR-IMM, Italy Paolo Samorì - University of Strasbourg, France Guido Saracco - Politecnico di Torino Italy Wlodek Strupinski - ITME, Poland Alberto Bianco - CNRS IBMC Strasbourg, France http://graphita.bo.imm.cnr.it Call for Papers Important Dates Abstract submission opening February 16th Registration opening February 16th Abstract submission deadline June 15th Notification of abstract acceptance July 7th Final program publication July 15th Deadline for early bid registration July 15th Topics A.

On the campus in Via Gobetti there are a total of eight Institutes belonging both to the CNR and to the Italian National Astrophysics Institute (INAF) together with the central Area Library, Conference Centre and ancillary services. The site also accommodates ASTER (regional government science and technology agency) and various groups working in the laboratories of the Tecnopolo AMBIMAT promoting industrial research and technology transfer. Check GraphITA website for updated information about hotels and accomodations providing discounted rates for workshop attendees. IMPORTANT: Depending on your country of origin, you may require a visa to come to Italy. If you need an invitation letter to partecipate to our workshop, we will be happy to provide it to you to facilitate the process. http://graphita.bo.imm.cnr.it http://graphita.bo.imm.cnr.it
