Abstract

KICstartH2 aims to accelerate hydrogen uptake throughout Europe through education and innovation, by targeting students and industry professionals. Leveraging on a consortium of 9 HEIs, 2 research institutes and 1 SME consulting firm to bring forward niche educational methodologies that not only tackle content on hydrogen technologies but also innovation methods in business and management. By combining these aspects of education, research and business the project exploits synergies in catering to the needs of academics and industry groups, supports the creation of key knowledge, fosters business developments that will build on these new ideas, and brings together the spheres of learning and commerce to activate new insights and future societal growth towards a sustainable energy future. Through a set of 6 actions, the project will build on institutional capacities of digitization, internationalization and collaboration to provide online modules of hydrogen education and business innovation through flipped learning methodologies.
