Joint Lab 2023-2027
The 734164-Graphene3D project partners have recognized mutual interests to co-establish a Joint Laboratory on Nanocarbon-Polymer Research and Application, referred as Joint Lab GRAPHENE 3D, which will work as a platform to promote research activities and technology transfer in the area of nanocarbon-based polymer composites, including Graphene based ones, after the end of Graphene 3D project.
In May 2022, the Joint Lab GRAPHENE 3D Agreement was signed by the partners and it was submitted to the European Commission as the Deliverable Report 8.5. It is valid for a (five) years from the date of its signature, and may be extended by additive term by the Partners, or terminated by its noncompliance.
