This workshop will focus on the methods of growth/synthesis of graphene and its characterisation techniques, addressing the pressing need to develop processes for sustainable mass production of this material for applications.

The growth techniques will include CVD growth on metals and dielectrics, sublimation on SiC, or any new methods to make graphene. Characterisations of the growth product will include all types of spectroscopic studies, surface imaging, studies of defects and charge and spin transport. The search for the new methods of manufacturing automatically thin films will not be confined to only graphene, but also extend into BN and silicene layers.

The programme of the workshop will also include a consultation session discussing the issues in the roadmap of graphene science and technology.
