UTFORSK project: HyTack: Tackling the challenges in the Hydrogen technology through education and research.
About the school
Hydrogen is a longstanding energy solution to achieve low-carbon, secure, and affordable energy future. Many technological aspects, however, still require effective solutions. HyTack is a collaborative project between two Norwegian universities (University of Stavanger, UiS, and University of South-Eastern Norway, USN), Savitribai Phule Pune university (SPPU) in India, two universities in Japan (Tohoku University, TU, Shibaura Institute of Technology, SIT) and research institutes: Institute for energy Technology (IFE, Norway), Norwegian research center (NORCE, Norway), Indian institute of scientific education and research (IISER, India), and National Chemistry lab, Pune (NCL-Pune, India). The project aims at developing and providing an educational base (theoretical and practical) in the field of hydrogen technology to the students in the partner universities, partner countries, and to a wider community.
HyTack School 2 is a dynamic, week-long program designed to immerse students from partner universities in the latest advancements, challenges, and applications of hydrogen technology. This intensive course is tailored for final-year BSc, MSc, and PhD students, offering a unique opportunity to delve into the subject. Participants will engage in workshops, interact with experts, and network with peers who share a passion for sustainable energy, making it an invaluable experience for those looking to shape the future of this field.
Key Features
Innovative Lectures: Experts from partner universities and invited speakers will present lectures on fundamental principles, current research, and new innovations in hydrogen technology. Topics include hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and utilization.
Hands-on Workshops: Interactive workshops / exercise sessions will assist in learning about materials science, storage methods, and safety of hydrogen systems under the guidance from experienced instructors.
Group visit to the H2&FC EXPO in Tokyo: On the last day of school, the participants will visit H2&FC EXPO in Tokyo – a major global event in industry, where they will learn about the state-of-the-art developments in the field.
