The Innovation Forum (former EU Research Days and Programme Review Days - PRD) aims to give an overview on the progress of the Clean Hydrogen JU funded projects. Initiated in 2011 (as an answer to the JU mid-term evaluation recommendations), this annual event held in autumn presents the progress of the portfolio of hydrogen relevant projects funded by the Clean Hydrogen JU and its predecessors, as well as other EU research programmes, identifying key achievements but also potential areas to be addressed or reinforced in subsequent years.
The exercise also provides an excellent visibility platform for projects and technological developments achieved in the sector and provides networking opportunities for the participants while facilitating the exchange of ideas and best practices. Moreover, it acts as a platform for the wider scientific community to express its opinions and views on the Programme of the Clean Hydrogen JU.
Furthermore, a number of awards have been introduced to highlight and celebrate annually the results of collaboration between research, industry and policy makers, and projects achievements:
- Best Success Story Award
- Best Outreach Award
- Best Innovation Awards
- European H2 Valley of the Year
- Women in H2 Innovation
