| HERMES Kick-Off Meeting. November 1, 2025

The University of Eastern Finland in Joensuu is hosting a presentation on the HERMES project, which aims to develop ultra-fast wireless communication systems that significantly outperform current technologies.

Targeting applications such as monitoring, security and medical sensing, the project addresses the limitations in data rate, efficiency and scalability imposed by conventional materials.

The project proposes innovative devices based on graphene and other two-dimensional (2D) materials, integrating them into communication systems operating in the terahertz (THz) range to achieve high bandwidth and breakthrough performance.

Funded under the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, this four-year project will foster long-term research collaborations by building an international network of academic and industrial partners. These partners will collaborate, sharing expertise and resources while training a new generation of researchers.
