The H2Excellence project aims to establish a European network of Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) in the field of fuel cells and green hydrogen technologies. Currently, the H2Excellence network is based on 6 CoVEs located in Finland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, France and Poland, representing 19 institutions including VET, higher education and business organizations. To broaden the project’s ambition and enhance its long-term impact, the H2Excellence consortium has launched a call for “Satellite CoVEs”, entities or group of entities located in EU Member States participating in the Erasmus+ programme or other EU countries eligible for Erasmus+ programme not currently represented in the project, which are committed to support green hydrogen education and knowledge.

Although Satellite CoVEs will not receive EU funding, they will benefit from accessing training materials, participation in networking and capacity-building activities, opportunities for collaboration with leading European stakeholders and increased visibility through the project’s official communication channels.

Eligible organisations: VET providers, enterprises, sectoral associations, research institutions, innovation agencies and regional development authorities interested in promoting green hydrogen education.

The application deadline is 31 March 2026.

Admission Procedure: eligible organizations will be admitted upon signing a Letter of Intent (LOI) after entry requirement verification by the H2Excellence consortium.
