We are now facing a long list of societal challenges including the development of sustainable energy systems. Fundamentally new and ground breaking ideas are needed, not just incremental improvements of known technologies. Many hydrogen-rich materials have diverse and interesting properties that are promising for a broad range of research fields. Hydrides are important materials for solid-state hydrogen storage, as ionic conductors in batteries or fuel cell applications, for thermal energy storage, and as niche materials in novel emerging fields. New properties, techniques and results will be highlighted with a focus on future research directions.
Leading scientists across Europe and the World will lecture on these diverse research areas where hydrides are important. The aim of this joined symposium and summer school is to combine the knowledge from experienced scientists with the creativity and scientific curiosity from young scientists.
12.11.2025: This page is launched and will be updated regularly. We expect a first general announcement on the 1st of December 2025, incl. invited speaker list and abstract submission deadline as well as details for registration.
see you all in Braunschweig,
on behalf of the Organizers
