About Hydrogen Europe Research
Hydrogen Europe Research is an international, non-profit association connecting 170+ Universities and Research & Technology Organisations across 30 countries in Europe and beyond.
Our membership is the backbone of European hydrogen innovation. Together, we represent a diverse network of expertise, consisting of visionary scientists and innovators dedicated to decarbonising the global economy.
We work closely with industry and European institutions to strengthen the role of research and innovation in the energy transition. Through our projects and activities, we contribute to the development of hydrogen solutions that support a sustainable and competitive Europe.
For over 18 years, we have been at the forefront of the hydrogen and fuel cells research sector, doubling our reach and influence to support a cleaner energy future.
Our Vision & Mission
We believe that high-level research is essential at every stage of the hydrogen value chain.
Our vision is to enable the transition to mature hydrogen technologies through a mission based on four key pillars:
Advancing Research Excellence
We champion world-class European hydrogen research to ensure that innovation remains aligned with the long-term goals of the energy transition.
Scaling Infrastructures & Innovation
We promote the development of cutting-edge research and technology infrastructures to accelerate the transition from lab to market.
Shaping European Policy & Standards
We drive the regulatory agenda with high-level research to establish standards and protocols for the clean hydrogen ecosystem.
Cultivating a Skilled Workforce
We foster specialised education and trainings to equip the European hydrogen economy with the next generation of experts.
Clean Hydrogen Partnership
The Clean Hydrogen Partnership (as per its legal name Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking) is a unique public private partnership supporting research and innovation (R&I) activities in hydrogen technologies in Europe. Its aim is to strengthen and integrate EU scientific capacity, in order to accelerate the development and improvement of advanced clean hydrogen applications.
The three members of the Joint Undertaking are the European Union, represented by the European Commission, the fuel cell and hydrogen industries represented by Hydrogen Europe and the research community represented by Hydrogen Europe Research.
