The Utah Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Initiative (UAMMI) has joined hands with the Graphene Council, the largest trade and professional society for research, development and application of graphene and related advanced materials, in a deal. The two organisations will proactively build joint research projects relating to advanced materials/graphene.

The two groups have signed a collaboration agreement in this regard.

Under the collaboration deal, the two organisations will provide each other free membership to their respective industry programmes and tools; highlight and make announcements related to advanced materials, graphene, research projects and other topics that are of relevance to the respective target audiences; make introductions and connections with key stakeholders in the advanced materials supply chain from producers to end users, including subject matter experts from academia or commerce; proactively build joint research projects that relate to advanced materials/graphene and the capabilities/interests of the respective communities; and jointly host educational workshops and webinars to disseminate information and to engage the respective stakeholder groups.

“We are thrilled to be working closely with the Graphene Council,” said Dr. Tulinda Larsen, executive director at UAMMI. “The council is the centre of graphene research and development, innovation and education and we want to support that in any way we can,” she concluded.
