HyDEX will be running a Hydrogen School from the 8th to 12th of January 2024.

Led by Loughborough University, this five-day winter school comprises an engaging mix of expert-led lectures alongside site visits to world leading hydrogen research and demonstration facilities across the HyDEX university partnership.

This programme is for anyone with an interest in learning more about hydrogen and the latest hydrogen technologies and applications.  You will gain an insight into current innovations within the hydrogen value chain and explore how the HyDEX programme is working to accelerate low carbon hydrogen solutions as part of the transition to net zero.
