Why workshops
A conference programme can be too large for a detailed working conversation. The workshop strand created smaller rooms for research groups, companies and agencies to explain what they are doing and to look for partners. The format favoured short talks, direct questions and time between sessions.
The 2022 programme used workshops and specialised sessions to cover partnership and networking on fuel cells and hydrogen energy, a tutorial on an open source modelling platform, and dedicated sessions for country and company presentations.
