Empower your hydrogen knowledge and join us!

We’re excited to kick off our first Hydrogen Academy in Brussels on Monday, September 8th, running across four Mondays and two Tuesdays, wrapping up on October 14th. Sessions will take place at the premises of KBC in Brussels.

Everyone’s welcome, but this edition we extend an extra special invitation to Flemish, Federal, European, and all Brussels-based officials. By hosting this edition in Brussels, we hope to see a strong turnout from policymakers - though, of course, non-officials are more than welcome too!

The program offers something for everyone, covering key hydrogen topics. Presentations will be held in English.
