The H2Excellence project is pleased to announce the applications for the 2026 “Train the Trainers” Programme, an online professional development opportunity designed for educators and trainers across Europe working in the field of fuel cells and green hydrogen technologies.
A Strategic Capacity‑Building Initiative
The programme is part of the EU‑funded H2Excellence: Fuel Cells and Green Hydrogen Centers of Vocational Excellence initiative, which aims to strengthen Europe’s capacity to deliver high‑quality, future‑oriented training aligned with the growing needs of the hydrogen sector.
