NortH2 Research Day – H2FUTURE Kick off event

Register to the NortH2 Research Day event here until 6.2.2024

Research orientated NortH2 – H2FUTURE Kick off launches the Nordic Hydrogen Week (13-15.2.2024). See the program of the week here.

The themes of the NortH2 – H2FUTURE Kick off Research Day are hydrogen research in Nordic toward green sustainable future and University of Oulu´s H2FUTURE profilation Kick off.

Welcome to join the seminar and listen wonderful speeches given by hydrogen specialists all over the world!

Unfortunately the service for stand exhibition is not organized in the event. In case you are interested in establishing a stand of your own, please contact Marjut Saastamoinen, marjut.saastamoinen(at)oulu.fi

The Research Day is held at Saalasti Hall, University of Oulu , Finland (Pentti Kaiteran katu 1, 90570 Oulu).
