Interview with Nazanin Emami about Swedish Graphene Forum 2024

Publicerat: 4 september, 2024

1. Why should one attend Swedish Graphene Forum 2024 in Luleå?
– Swedish Graphene Forum is Sweden’s largest annual meeting for graphene and other 2D related materials. Considering advanced materials are key components to green industrial transition, Swedish Graphene Forum is an excellent platform and an open arena to meet industry, research institute and academia to discuss the recent advancement within “Advanced Materials” and groundbreaking innovations and results which are of great importance for progress in Swedish industry, says Nazanin Emami.

2. What is your main interest in this year’s event?
– This year we celebrate SIO Grafen’s 10 year anniversary. During last 10 years more than 200 projects have been financed trough SIO Grafen and this year we will listen to a handpick of these highly successful projects. Some examples from 2D materials based demonstrators will be presented during the meeting, also a visit to Talga is organised.

3. You live in Luleå – what should we see outside the conference room?
– The nature up here in Norrbotten is just magnificent. Then off course Old Town and Old Town church is interesting to visit as it is part of 100s of years of Swedish history, and there is much more to explore. And keep your eye on the sky during the night hours, if you are lucky maybe you get to experience the northen light.
