The DAAD Green Hydrogen Research Tour 2025 focuses on the presentation of research progress in hydrogen production and use and the technological developments for the hydrogen economy along its value chain. The Tour 2025 will include dialogues with researchers and practitioners at universities, non-university research institutions, companies, and collaborative projects, covering a broad spectrum of activities in research and technological application.
Participants can expect:
- An overall view of the German higher education, research systems and funding opportunities.
- First-hand insights into the developments and innovative projects in the field of green hydrogen production, transport and infrastructure, market stimulation and cross-cutting issues.
- The opportunity for a mutual exchange of current research results with experts actively investigating, developing, and implementing new technologies, norms and standards in the field.
- An overview of the green hydrogen research landscape and career options in Germany, as well as of the funding opportunities for academic exchange, institutional and individual collaboration.
- The opportunity to join one of the DAAD Green Hydrogen Working Groups to create long-term ties with other fellows and experts from the DAAD Green Hydrogen community, and to profit of research and networking opportunities, according to their personal interests.
