The SAFARI project is a 42-months research and innovation project funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program. The project brings together a consortium of 11 partners from 8 European countries. SAFARI is also part of the Graphene Flagship’s initiative, which aims to develop sustainable and safe processes for the production of graphene and other 2D materials.
The SAFARI project is developing conductive inks based on MXenes and graphene hybrids that can be used for printed electronics applications, such as RFID tags and flexible displays. Also, novel sensors and EMI shielding materials are developed, based on MXenes and graphene hybrids.
SAFARI aims to answer key challenges holding back responsible innovation in 2D materials. The project pursues sustainable solutions by:
- Developing advanced MXene/graphene hybrids
- Establishing non-toxic, scalable synthesis routes
- Optimizing material properties for applications
- Validating safety and environmental best practices
- Fostering collaborative R&D networks
- Disseminating knowledge
The project team consists of international companies and research institutes like: Poznan Institute of Technology, CREATIVE NANO PC (CNANO), METROHM DROPSENS SL (METRO), AXIA INNOVATION GmbH (AXIA), THINKWORKS BV (TW), ISRAEL AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES LTD. (IAI), Danish Technological Institute, AIMEN Technology Center, INSTITUTO DE SOLDADURA E QUALIDADE (ISQ), INSTITUTO TECNOLOGICO DEL EMBALAJE, TRANSPORTE Y LOGISTICA (ITENE) and UNIVERSIDAD DE BURGOS (UBU).
