Symposium „Fuel Cells – energy & transport – design, prototyping, implementation” behind us!
On 22nd of April 2015 in the Regional Centre for Innovation and Technology Transfer in Szczecin was held an International Symposium “Fuel cells – energy and transportation – design, prototyping, implementation”. The Symposium was organized by the Faculty of Chemical Technology and Engineering at the West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin. The Symposium was one of the important elements of knowledge dissemination activities in the field of fuel cells, which is an important aim of the 7FP project with an acronym STAGE-SOFC. The project STAGE-SOFC is carry out in the Institute of Chemical Engineering and Environmental Protection Processes at the Faculty of Chemical Technology and Engineering. Co-organizers of the Symposium were: Green Chemistry cluster and the 7FP project with an acronym R4R.Dr Paulina Pianko-Oprych was the main organizer and the person, who conducted the Symposium. Dr Pianko-Oprych is also the project manager of the STAGE-SOFC project in ZUT.
The following business representatives were invited to discussion: Solaris Bus & Coach SA – Poland, sunfire GmbH – Germany, ICI Caldaie – Italy, Linde Gaz – Poland, ALMUS AG – Switzerland, Nedstack fuel cell technology BV – Netherlands, efceco – Germany as well as other Europe’s leading institutions for fuel cells research and development: VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland – Finland, Clausthaler Umwelttechnik Insitut GmbH (CUTEC) – Germany, The National Research Council (CNR) – Italy, European Hydrogen Association – Belgium.
