Thursday, June 9, 2022
Professor
Michael
Pope is
the
lead
applicant
for
an
international
collaboration
that
will
help
Canadian
companies
working
with
2D
materials
compete
on
the
international
stage.
An
interdisciplinary
team
including
members
from
the
University
of
Waterloo
and
the University
of
Duisburg-Essen and
RWTH Aachen
University
in
Germany have
worked
to
establish
this
initiative
titled
Scalable
2D
Materials
Architectures
or
2D-MATURE
which
aims
to
create
a
talent
pool
of
trainees
that
possess
the
technical
and
soft
skills
to
take
2D
materials
from
research
labs
to
real-world
industrial
applications.
The
German
researchers
led
by Professor
Gerd
Bacher were
awarded
an
additional
7
million
euros
and
will
support
international
exchanges
and
summer
schools
for
the
Canadian
students.
