The HyTack Final Symposium marks the culmination of the international project “Tackling the Challenges in Hydrogen Economy through Education and Research” (2022–2026). The project has been funded by the Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills (HK-dir) through the UTFORSK programme (grant number UTF-2021-10198).
The symposium will bring together students, researchers, educators, and industry stakeholders from Norway, India, and Japan to showcase the project’s achievements in hydrogen technology education, research collaboration, and international capacity building. Over the course of four years, HyTack has established a shared learning environment through summer schools, thematic seminars, student and staff exchanges, collaborative research activities, helping to prepare the next generation of specialists for the emerging hydrogen economy.

The event will provide a platform to present key scientific results, student projects and experiences, while also reflecting on lessons learned and future opportunities for international collaboration. By bringing together partners from universities and research institutes, the symposium will highlight the role of interdisciplinary education and research in addressing technological challenges related to hydrogen production, storage, utilization, and safety, and in supporting the transition toward a sustainable low-carbon energy future.
