Work at H2 group and success stories

In the hydrogen group, we welcome professionals and students willing to contribute to the development of the shown working topics. This has led to the development of a stretch collaboration with a network of institutions across Germany and Europe, and to the valuable contribution in the research, implementation and coordination of high-level projects. These international projects are mainly framed within the HytecGroup
