Following the kick-off meeting of the European Project “Hydrogen Centres of Vocational Excellence (H2CoVE)” in mid-March in Norway, Tyrolean regional partners gathered on the 9th of April, 2024 at HTL Kramsach to facilitate further task planning within the Tyrol region.

During this meeting, Tyrolean partners engaged in a series of activities, including a tour of the school premises led by Mag Dr. Daniela Erlebach and faculty representatives. Task planning and discussions were undertaken across various work packages.

The journey between HTL Kramsach and the Green Energy Center Europe in Innsbruck was made using a hydrogen car, providing our partners with the opportunity to observe hydrogen mobility and experience the hydrogen refueling process firsthand.

The H2CoVE project brings together a total of 25 partners from 5 regions, including Tyrol in Austria, Vestland in Norway, Northern Netherlands, Estonia and Precartharian region in Ukraine. Their knowledge and expertise are pooled to establish local hydrogen ecosystems with the goal of enhancing H2 skills within the regions. The project aims to equip the European workforce with the requisite high-quality vocational skills necessary for industries operating within the emerging value chains of a hydrogen economy.

FEN Research represents Tyrol, Austria, as the regional coordinator in this project. The other regional partners include FEN Systems, Klasse!forschung, HTL Kramsach and FH Kufstein Tirol.
