Politecnico di Torino (POLITO) is a leading university in Italy and in Europe in the field of technical-scientific research with over 38,000 students enrolled in academic courses of different levels, BSc, MSc, PhD, Master Courses (15% are international students). POLITO is a center of excellence for education and research in engineering, architecture, design and planning and it works in close cooperation with the socioeconomic system. In an evolving global context disrupted by the effects of globalization, climate change, population aging, new and increasingly pervasive technologies, Universities are expected to progress in order to produce an impact on a rapidly changing society. Politecnico di Torino has therefore decided to transform itself into a “platform” University expected to be permeable, inclusive, open to the labour market and to industry, with a key role in innovation and lifelong learning. The goal is to become a driving force for a societal sustainable development.

The University of Turin is one of the most ancient and prestigious Italian Universities, hosting almost 80.000 students (a.y. 2021-2022) and with 120 buildings in different areas in Turin and in key places in Piedmont, promoting culture and producing research, innovation, training and employment.
The University of Turin is today one of the largest Italian Universities, open to international research and training. It carries out scientific research and organizes courses in all disciplines, except for Engineering and Architecture. It is an integral part of the community, acting for reviving urban and suburban areas, promoting cultural interaction, social integration and development, encouraging dialogue and insight into current realities.

The Italian Hydrogen Association – H2IT –  was in 2005, and is an autonomous Association aimed at promoting the advancement of knowledge and the study of disciplines pertaining to technologies and systems for the production and utilization of hydrogen.
The Association has always set out to achieve the objectives: stimulate the creation of the infrastructure for the use of hydrogen, represent actors in the sector, and ensuring a leadership role for Italy in the world market.

FOUNDATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGIES IN ARAGON (FHA) is a private, non-profit research centre created in 2003 by the Government of Aragon to promote the use of hydrogen as an energy vector.
Supported by a Board of Trustees of more than 90 members (mainly private companies from the energy sector, chemical industry, metal mechanics, automotive, safety and homologation, transport; public administrations; research, education and training), it is working on R&D&I and the deployment of fuel cell and hydrogen technologies basing its strategy on the Hydrogen Master Plan for Aragon 2021-2025, whose first edition in 2007 was the first regional roadmap in the world.
FHA has participated in more than 200 projects, with a prominent position in the European Clean Hydrogen Partnership, where it is the Spanish entity with the most projects (33) and the European entity with the most hydrogen valleys (7).
FHA’s facilities cover the entire value chain, with +700 kW of solar and wind resources, 3 electrolysis test benches, 3 commercial electrolysers (AEL, PEMEL and AEMEL technologies) capable of producing 24kg of renewable hydrogen per day, +30 kg of storage, 350 bar dispensing to 2 FCHEVs and an R&D platform for injecting hydrogen into the natural gas grid.

Established in 2010, the Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N) distinguishes itself through research excellence directed towards outcomes of industry relevance, with focus on systems-level research for tropical megacities. The Institute integrates research across NTU in the context of the energy challenge, and then helps translate outcomes into industry and practice. The Institute’s research focuses on a host of Interdisciplinary Research Programmes, Flagship Programmes, an Accelerator Programme and a Standards Development Programme that covers the energy value chain from generation to innovative end-use solutions, motivated by industrialisation and deployment. ERI@N is committed to enable knowledge creation and technology transfer by building strong alliances with government agencies, leading industry players and SMEs and global universities to support Singapore’s national objectives. These collaborations are ratified in part through the development of green buildings, renewable energy deployment, grid management systems, proliferation of energy efficient solutions, creation of a “car-lite” society, digitalisation of the energy system enabling a ubiquitous smart grid architecture and establishing low carbon districts.

CEA is the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission. It is a public body established in October 1945. As R&D leader in research, development and innovation, CEA is active in four main areas: low-carbon energies, defence and security, information technologies and health technologies. In each of these fields, CEA maintains a cross-disciplinary culture, building on the synergies between fundamental and technological research. The Laboratory for Innovation in Technology for Energy and New materials (LITEN) is one of these institutes, being a major R&D player for energy and the environment over the past two decades. His research, guided by energy efficiency and the circular economy, addresses the pillars of the energy transition: solar energy, batteries, hydrogen, and sustainable chemicals and fuels.
