• 5-6 March 2019 - FCH JU PEMFC development workshop, Matrseille, France
  

  This workshop is organised by the INSPIRE project team and will be a technical information-sharing event focusing on PEMFC components and their integration into fuel cell stacks. The aim is to link together and strengthen synergies between H2020 FCH JU projects including presentations from INSPIRE, VOLUMETRIQ, CRESCENDO, GRASSHOPPER, GAIA, MAMA-MEA, Fit-4-Amanda, HYDRAITE and ID-FAST, with respect to new component developments, best practices and successes.

  The workshop will present recent advances relating to catalysts and catalyst supports, membrane, MEA, bipolar plates, stack assembly and fuel cell characterisation testing, and will be an opportunity for FCH JU projects to network and exchange both information and technical developments.

  The workshop is totally free of charge, participants will only have to proceed to their own booking for accommodation.

• 24-28 April 2017 - Hannover Messe, Germany

  "Integrated Industry – Creating Value" is the official lead theme for HANNOVER MESSE 2017. "Widespread uptake of digitalization in the manufacturing and energy industries will only happen if integrated technology providers make a strong case for the associated benefits," said Deutsche Messe Managing Board member Dr. Jochen Köckler. "Manufacturers and energy companies need to fully understand the direct, long-term benefits they stand to gain from digitalization. They need to recognize that digitalization adds value – and not just in terms of new and better machines. Value is also created by the ability that digitalization gives companies to update or completely reinvent their business models and improve the working lives of individual employees."

• 19-22 March 2017 - ISE Topical Meeting Advances in Lithium and Hydrogen Electrochemical Systems for Energy Conversion and Storage, Buenos Aires, Argentina

  In a world with increasing energy demand for maintaining and developing the modern society, but at the same time seeking for renewable resources and environmental friendly solutions, electrochemistry can clearly provide efficient and clean alternatives for energy conversion and storage. Two fields of great impact in today’s energy economy are the development of lithium batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. The goal of the present meeting is to provide a venue where electrochemical researchers working in the fields of lithium batteries and hydrogen fuel cells will have the opportunity to discuss their recent advances and future developments. The scope of the meeting goes from basic research in related electrode reactions to applied electrochemical energy conversion and energy storage, including electrochemical engineering aspects.
