Testimonials
"Beyond the feelings of loneliness and inadequacy, what is difficult for women in science is the lack of role models. Women in Graphene was an opportunity to meet successful women in the field." Ilhame Kihal, PhD Student, University of Cambridge.
Diversity in Graphene
Diversity in Graphene expands the scope and actions of the Graphene Flagship's Women in Graphene initiative.
The Diversity in Graphene initiative aims to create a collaborative research environment where everybody feels welcome, without any prejudice. Diversity in Graphene will lead the discussion about inclusion and diversity in the field of graphene. We will support under-represented groups in our community, fostering and supporting progressive improvements that will reach all structural levels of the Graphene Flagship.
