GRAPHSENS, designed by the Laboratory for Nanostructure Epitaxy and Spintronics on Silicon (L-NESS), Como, Italy and implemented in collaboration with the University of Novi Sad (UNS), Serbia aims at designing, creating and testing hybrid sensors based on graphene for monitoring concentrations of various environmental pollutants. Serbian researchers will be granted access to Italian equipment and know-how and the collaboration should yield sensors to be tested in realistic environmental conditions.
During the first six months of the project implementation, the University of Novi Sad purchased the system for sensor testing. The design, creation and elaboration of graphene-based sensors, currently tested at the L-NESS in Como are also underway.
Following the project activities, the first long-term secondment from UNS to L-NESS is taking place. A PhD student from UNS - who has been trained in fabricating sensor measurements - is currently performing these activities independently. A study visit from L-NESS to UNS will take place after the delivery of the system for sensor testing.
L-NESS will transfer the knowledge to the UNS team through interactive courses, training and exchange of researchers and will provide information, results for new scientific papers and new project proposals, to be developed within Horizon 2020.

GRAPHSENS is co-financed with a grant within the CEI Know How Exchange Programme (KEP ITALY) in the framework of the CEI Fund at the EBRD, fully contributed by Italy. The CEI grant amounts to €30,228 EUR out of the total project cost of 83,400 EUR. The 24-month project will be running until December 2016.
