Social Acceptance of Hydrogen Symposium
UK-HyRES / TARG:ET will host a FREE one-day workshop at the University of Portsmouth on Thursday April 30th. We will bring together academics and non-academics with interests in the social acceptance of hydrogen & alternative liquid fuels. This is an opportunity to hear about emerging research and network with others who have interests in hydrogen futures.
This hybrid event will run between 9:00 and 18:00 and comprises a mix of short and long presentations, a keynote address and a panel discussion (industry-academic collaboration).
There will be a networking lunch and coffee breaks as well as time to network after the event. While the oral presentations are now set, there is an option for people to bring posters to present during the lunch and breaks OR to attend as a non-presenting delegate. Please complete the brief set of questions below. Your answers will help with the planning of catering, etc.
