Hydrogen Summer School 2026

The event is expired

The Hydrogen Summer School is addressed to PhD students, researchers and young professionals working in the areas of hydrogen technologies development. The goal is to provide a technological overview and an exchange basis on the challenges to be faced for a sustainable integration of hydrogen as an energy vector in our society.

The Hydrogen Summer will take place on 26th-29th of May 2025, will be conducted in English, and welcome a maximum number of 50 participants. Equal. Technical topics will be introduced and discussed by key industrial and academic players who are actively tackling the Hydrogen challenge.

The Hydrogen Summer School will include a visit to ENEA Laboratories and several interactive sessions.

The ENEA Casaccia Research Center is the largest laboratories complex in ENEA. It is located in Via Anguillarese n. 301, about 25 km north-west of Rome, near Bracciano Lake. The research center is easily accessible. You can reach the “Valle Aurelia” interchange station through subway Line A and take the FL3 train line towards Viterbo for 30 minutes. Get off at Cesano Station where you can take the free shuttle bus service that will bring you to Casaccia research Center in 5 minutes.

The registration fee is 250 €/attendant VAT included and will include:

  • Attendance to the Hydrogen Summer School (4 days)
  • Lunch and coffee break (3 days)
  • Social program (to be defined)
  • Bus transfer Rome to C.R. Enea Casaccia
