General Assembly

The General Assembly is the highest decision-making body of Hydrogen Europe Research. It brings together our entire membership to shape the association’s strategic direction, vote on key initiatives, and strengthen the bonds across our European research network.

Our members

Connecting Our Network

Meeting twice a year, the General Assembly serves as a vital platform for members to receive exclusive updates on association activities, share insights and engage in networking with peers from 30 countries across Europe and beyond.

Upcoming General Assembly

The next General Assembly will take place on June 17 in a hybrid format (online and in person) in Dublin, Ireland. This GA is particularly significant as the Executive Board elections will take place, allowing members to directly shape the leadership and future of the association.
