Graphene is known to have small intrinsic spin-orbit Interaction (SOI). In this review, we demonstrate that SOIs in graphene can be strongly enhanced by proximity effect when graphene is deposited on the top of transition metal dichalcogenides. We discuss the symmetry of the induced SOIs and differences between TMD underlayers in the capacity of inducing strong SOIs in graphene. The strong SOIs contribute to bring novel phenomena to graphene, exemplified by robust supercurrents sustained even under tesla-range magnetic fields.
