After having been the Scientific Chair of EFCF 2023, I had the pleasure and privilege to attend EFCF 2025, this time as Schönbein Medal of Honour Winner and Keynote Speaker. Like many other participants, I truly enjoyed the superb program and positive vibes of the conference. Thanks to the unyielding commitment and energy of the organizing team, EFCF2025 has been not only a great conference but also a prime event for socializing and building connections. This is exactly what is needed to keep the community of hydrogen technology researchers and developers together and help it sail through inevitable ups and downs towards a sustainable hydrogen economy.
