Electricity market and hydrogen storage
Hydrogen underground storage
Social impact of Hydrogen economy
Hydrogen carriers
LCA
Any other relevant topics

EULiST strives to establish a cohesive platform for collaborative research and innovation initiatives, facilitating knowledge exchange and best practice sharing through joint participation in relevant EU R&D calls to secure public funding. The Alliance has identified potential calls, focusing on the research area of the Hydrogen Economy.

Following the presentation of the philosophy of Fridays for Research by NTUA Prof. Sotirios Karellas (WP4 lead), and the outlines of the requirements and regulations of MSCA calls by Mr Marc Delage from IMT, representatives from all 10 EULiST Universities showcased their research activities and accomplishments related to the issue via dedicated presentations, ultimately aiming to establish common ground for synergistic collaboration. Robust expertise and impactful research and innovation initiatives were demonstrated spanning the entire H₂ value chain. This ranged from production and materials engineering to end-use applications and sophisticated high-level energy system modelling. Leveraging their strong expertise in the emerging field of hydrogen economy, the Alliance members pledged to pursue additional collaborations and joint funding applications.
