Young Scientist Award

The Young Scientist Award, hosted annually by Hydrogen Europe Research, is designed to honor promising young researchers (35 years old or younger) affiliated with our member organisations. These individuals have made significant personal contributions to hydrogen-related projects. Through this competition, Hydrogen Europe Research seeks to spotlight the efforts of students, PhD candidates, postdoctoral fellows, and young researchers while fostering their participation in Clean Hydrogen Partnership projects. Additionally, the aim is to attract emerging talent to the hydrogen and fuel cell sector.

 

Each year, the competition focuses on four key pillars aligned with the framework of the Clean Hydrogen Partnership. One young scientist is recognised within each pillar, and an additional one is elected the “Best Researcher of the Year”.

 

The award ceremony usually takes place in person in Brussels, during the Hydrogen Week.

 

The five winners receive 1000 Eur each and a trophy.

We look forward to announcing the next edition of the competition in 2025. Further details will be shared soon!
