Programme Details
The hydrogen school organised by HyDEX will provide participants with an insight into new technology advancements and innovation within the hydrogen value chain and understand how the academia is working with industry to accelerate low carbon hydrogen solutions as part of the transition to net zero. We will have speakers from academia and industry to present about their research and current work around the following themes:
- Hydrogen production methods
- Fuel cell technology
- Hydrogen-based fuels
- Hydrogen Applications
The location for the hydrogen school will be across three HyDEX partner universities – Loughborough, Birmingham and Cranfield. This will allow participants to visit the hydrogen demonstration facilities and engage with the expert researchers whose work encompasses the themes outlined above.
You can register for the hydrogen school on the Loughborough University online store, where you can make payment by credit/debit card.
If you have any questions about the Hydrogen School, please contact: s.gomes@lboro.ac.uk

Participants will be tasked with a number of activities which will form part of the earning criteria for a micro-credential award.
- Pre-requisite e-learning: Hydrogen 101
- Group case study analysis discussion and peer review

Please note participants can choose whether or not to register for the micro-credential but will still need to engage with the activities throughout the duration of the hydrogen school, including the pre-requisite online activity.
