DESCRIPTION:Disruptive technologies are usually characterised by universal
 \, versatile applications that change many aspects of our lives simultaneo
 usly\, penetrating every corner of our existence. In order to become disru
 ptive\, a new technology needs to offer orders of magnitude of improvement
 s compared to existing industry standards. Moreover\, the more universal t
 he technology\, the better chances it has for broad-based success.\n \nThe
  Graphene Flagship has brought together universities\, research centres an
 d companies from most European Countries. At the end of the ramp-up phase\
 , significant progress has been made in taking graphene\, related layered 
 materials and hybrid systems from a state of raw potential to a point wher
 e they can revolutionise multiple industries. I will overview the progress
  done thus far and the future roadmap.   	\n \nThe speaker: Andrea Ferrari
  is Professor of Nanotechnology at Cambridge University as well as head of
  the Nanomaterials and Spectroscopy group at the Department of Engineering
  and Nanoscience. He is the founding Director of the Cambridge Graphene Ce
 ntre and a Fellow of Pembroke College. A Fellow of the American Physical S
 ociety and Chairman of the Executive Board of the EU Graphene Flagship\, F
 errari also holds the Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award.
