Atoms are the building blocks of all materials; in most solids they are arranged in three-dimensional structures. The Nobel Prize winning discovery that atoms could be arranged in only two-dimensions, like flat, atomically-thin sheets, has opened up an exciting world of materials with unimaginable properties. A growing number of companies in Canada and abroad are looking to leverage these possibilities, but urgently need employees with a multidisciplinary skillset to fully exploit the unique properties of 2D-materials. With this in mind, 2D-MATURE will establish a hub of expertise in this strategic area, which will allow Canadian companies to compete on the international stage. Trainees will take courses and gain hands-on experience in a uniquely interdisciplinary environment. Each trainee will be co-supervised by a researcher at UWaterloo as well as a counterpart at a world-class German institution, and will participate in exchanges in Germany. This will equip trainees with the technical skills and international experience required to thrive in an increasingly globalized society. A key objective of 2D-MATURE is to impart trainees with the knowledge and skills needed to translate laboratory breakthroughs into materials/devices manufactured at industrial scales, considering technical, techno-economics, and social dimensions. Technical skills will be augmented with specialized courses in commercialization, intellectual property, and manufacturability. Courses on life-cycle analysis will trainees about sustainability and, in particular, how natural resource extraction impacts Indigenous Peoples, thereby providing the perspectives necessary to grow the 2D-materials industry in a responsible manner. Additional courses will develop professional skills, like technical communication and project management, which the trainees will also acquire by helping to manage 2D-MATURE and by presenting their own research at conferences and seminars. Top international researchers and industry representatives will present seminars and interact one-on-one with the trainees, building their professional networks. This value-added experience will produce job-ready trainees capable of transforming the 2D-materials industry in Canada.

原子是所有材料的基础；在大多数固体中，它们都以三维结构排列。诺贝尔奖获得的发现，即原子只能以二维的方式安排，例如扁平，原子上的薄片，开辟了一个令人兴奋的材料世界，具有难以想象的属性。加拿大和国外越来越多的公司正在寻求利用这些可能性，但是急需具有多学科技能的员工来充分利用2D材料的独特性能。考虑到这一点，2D系统将在该战略领域建立专业知识枢纽，这将使加拿大公司能够在国际舞台上竞争。学员将参加课程，并在独特的跨学科环境中获得动手经验。每个学员将由Uwaterloo的一名研究人员以及世界一流的德国机构的同行共同监督，并将参加德国的交流。这将使受训者拥有在日益全球化的社会中蓬勃发展所需的技术技能和国际经验。 2D系统的一个关键目标是考虑到技术，技术经济学和社会维度，将实验室突破性的知识和技能传授为以工业规模制造的材料/设备所需的知识和技能。技术技能将通过商业化，知识产权和制造性的专门课程来增强。关于生命周期分析的课程将对可持续性，特别是自然资源提取如何影响土著人民，从而以负责任的方式提供2D材料行业所需的观点。其他课程将发展专业技能，例如技术沟通和项目管理，学员还将通过帮助管理2D系统并在会议和研讨会上介绍自己的研究来获得这些技能。顶尖的国际研究人员和行业代表将介绍研讨会，并与学员一对一互动，建立他们的专业网络。这种增值经验将产生能够转变加拿大2D材料行业的就业的学员。
