The National Research Program on low carbon Hydrogen (PEPR-H2)

The national research program on low carbon hydrogen (PEPR-H2) aims at levering several scientific and technological barriers concerning the production, storage, usage and systems. This program, funded as part of the national acceleration strategy on hydrogen within France 2030 plan, will undoubtedly lead to enhance the scientific knowledge in the hydrogen field as well as accelerating the transfer from lab to fab, hydrogen being a promising energy vector towards a low carbon energy transition. Presently, 21 projects covering the whole value chain  of hydrogen are underway.

The PEPR-H2 School

The PEPR-H2 organizes a summer School that offers the opportunity to PhD and early carrier researchers involved in the running projects of the program to meet and to get lectures that enlarge their knowledge in the field. Several PhD students working on low-carbon hydrogen within European and international research institutes/universities will be invited to join the school. The event is organized from June 15 to 18, and is composed of several lectures. Poster sessions will be the occasion to PhDs to share their research activities.

Logistics

Participation to the PEPR-H2 school, including accommodation (on double room' basis) and meals throughout the event, is free of charge for all participants but the registration is compulsory. To be eligible, the applicant MUST attend  from 15 to 18 june.  

Important : Please notice that the travel to the summer school premises is not covered by the organizers.

DATE :
Monday, June 15 (11 am) to Thursday, June 18 (2 pm), 2026

The number of participants being limited, the registration will be based on “first come, first served” !
Also, priority will be given to PhD students registering for the entire hydrogen week (June 15-18)

Please note that registration priority will be given in the following order: 

• PhD students from the Hydrogen Program
• Post-Docs from the Hydrogen Program
• PhD students conducting research related to hydrogen within a France 2030 PEPR program
• PhD students conducting research related to hydrogen outside the France 2030 programs
