Information
The 4th EUROPEAN PEFC & H2 FORUM will be a highlight of the year for those involved with low temperature fuel cells and hydrogen.

The Topics will range from:
- International overviews, Regional activities;
- Materials: Components development, characterisation and
fabrication processes;
- Diagnostics and characterisation; Durability and ageing mitigation;
- Stack and systems integration; Demonstration and deployment;
- Sustainable H2 production; H2 infrastructure & storage;
- Fuel cells training and education programmes.
The venue is once again the attractive "Kultur- und Kongresszentrum Luzern" - KKL on the waterfront of the charming Lake Lucerne in the heart of Switzerland.
The 4th EUROPEAN PEFC & H2 FORUM consists of a Fuel Cell and Hydrogen TUTORIAL on Tuesday, July 2nd, two parallel lecture series from Wednesday, July 3rd to Friday, July 5th and a Fuel Cell EXHIBITION open from 4pm Tuesday to 12pm Friday. On-site registration starts 4pm on Tuesday followed by the Welcome Reception from 6 to 7pm.
The Forum is known for its relaxed atmosphere, good food services and unique entertainment. All participants will receive the Electronic Proceedings at the time of registration.
