The H2Excellence project aims to provide world-class training in green hydrogen technologies for young people, engineers, and adults needing up-skilling and reskilling. The VET clusters will develop joint curricula, interact with universities, facilitate exchanges, and partner with companies to meet the skills needs of the green hydrogen sector. The project will also organize several international competitions for different level of students in Vocational Education and Training (VET) organizations and higher academia as well.
The competition is an integral part of Task 4.3, which falls under Work Package 4. One of the main objectives of this work package is to enable consortium partners and CoVE partners to build a network of educational, business, and industry stakeholders aimed at promoting vocational and educational training. Task 4.3 specifically aims to enhance the attractiveness and excellence of VET while fostering knowledge exchange and networking opportunities among universities, R&D institutes, and industry. One of the key initiatives is organizing a “Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Open Innovation and Project Challenge Competition” for students and VET teachers.
Mondragon University, one of the 24 partners of the H2Excellence consortium, organizes its first such competition in collaboration with other consortium partners on the design of a hydrogen radio-controlled car, which is intended for the students at EQF levels 3–5.
