Ivan BuckleyNational Graphene Institute, University of Manchester, UK
Mr. Ivan Buckley is the Project Manager for Graphene@Manchester which includes the graphene and 2D material activities at the University of Manchester including the National Graphene Institute and the recently announced Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC). Previously, he was the Project Manager for the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), the largest centre of its type within the UK national High Value Manufacturing Catapult Network. Originally from an industry background, he has championed the need for high value manufacturing and the role of advanced materials can play in its recovery, playing a prominent role in the development and implementation of both regional and national UK strategies for High Value Manufacturing and Advanced Materials.

Abstract
The University of Manchester has received nearly $200m in capital investment for the research and commercialization of graphene and other 2D materials. Building on its world class research base, the National Graphene Institute (NGI) was opened in April 2015 to collaborate with other research centres and industry, to develop and demonstrate the scale up of graphene products and processes from the lab. In 2017, the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC) will open. It is a $95m capital investment that will complement the National Graphene Institute (NGI) and will be the manufacturing test-bed for the industrial application of graphene and 2-D material process engineering and scale-up. It will be the place where we will develop graphene and 2-D material applications, attract additional business interest and investment, develop intellectual property (IP) from basic science projects and applications, train the new generation of engineers and scientists for high-tech industry, as well as linking with international programs for research such as the €1 billion European Union Graphene Flagship.
