Arena for hydrogen in process and material

The network "Arena for hydrogen in process and material" is a forum with a focus on dissemination of results and exchange of experience on hydrogen in process and material. 

Business intelligence

We offer the opportunity to disseminate results and exchange experience with other networks, e.g. by monitoring conferences and workshops and providing feedback from the research front to our participants.

Research development

We monitor relevant calls nationally and internationally and collect the respective needs of different companies to generate joint projects or direct assignments. Thanks to being an independent research institute, we can work confidentially under special agreements and do not make a language on IP or on publishing results. In bilateral collaborations, all results are owned by the customer. By "asking a researcher" you can get quick feedback and coaching to take a research question further by an experienced researcher.

Exchange of experience

We organize an annual workshop for our participating companies with experience exchange and knowledge dissemination between different initiatives and projects. In addition, 3–4 webinars are organized for faster feedback from projects in different phases, e.g. information on calls for proposals and project ideas, new granted projects, dissemination of results and training efforts. The content is determined based on needs that are identified together with our program advice.

Sign up!

The network is financed by our program committee for Metallurgy and Heating and metalworking (VB). For those companies that do not participate in our program committes, an annual fee of SEK 15,000 will be paid. For more information, contact Pontus Rydgren.
