14th International Summer School on Advanced Studies of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells

Forthcoming Summer School

29 August - 6 September 2022 Yokohama, Japan and Graz, Austria.

We will hold face-to-face classes in Yokohama and Graz, respectively, and connect them via the Internet as a hybrid event

Because of the restricted admission due to COVID-19 pandemic, participants who do not live in Japan cannot attend face-to-face at Yokohama National University.The possibility of live participation at TU Graz depends on COVID-19 regulations valid at the time of the summer school, cannot be influenced by the organizers and will therefore only be fixed at short notice immediately before the summer school.

Registration is now Open!!

Please fill and submit by google form
The deadline of registration is 15th July.

Joint Summer Schoolon Advanced Studies of PEFCs

This course covers research topics in the fields of hydrogen production, basic electrochemistry, thermodynamics, and kinetics as well as the design and development of the complete fuel cell systems. The goals of the course are to provide the necessary background to the students and to make them more aware of the need to work closely with colleagues from different fields such as the natural sciences and engineering departments in order to develop and implement this technology. This course is organized as the International Summer School on Advanced Studies of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell which is a co-operative project of Graz University of Technology and the Yokohama National University.

Very cool review from a past participant, Katharina Kocher.
