Bringing together the entire hydrogen and fuel cell research community, inspiring collaboration and driving innovation.

 We are pleased to announce that the H2FC SUPERGEN is holding its 2016 Researcher Conference from midday 12th Dec – midday 14th Dec 2016 at the University of Ulster’s Jordanstown campus, Belfast. In-line with the ethos of H2FC SUPERGEN, this conference endeavors to bring together the entire hydrogen and fuel cell research community in the UK and beyond.

The conference will host presentations and posters from researchers, with participation of key academics, industrialists and government/policy advisors working across the field of hydrogen and fuel cells. The conference will provide an excellent chance to network within the community.

 CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Please indicate your preference for an oral or poster presentation and which theme your research falls under (see below for the list of themes).
