Launched within the West Pomeranian Hydrogen Valley established in November 2022, the academy is now officially in operation. Applications for the inaugural edition of the programme opened on March 7th. The Hydrogen Academy will feature a team of highly qualified specialists and experts in hydrogen technologies, as well as scientific staff from ZUT.

In particular, we emphasised the need to bolster cooperation between businesses and the education, science, and academia in hydrogen technologies.
