⏰ We are postponing the actual launch of our #hydrogen lunch webinars until March! So, the dates for January and February are not valid anymore BUT it gives you more time to register as a presenter for the next slots. Check out the concept and the presenter registration form below! 👇

📢 Calling all Belgian #Hydrogen Academics! Do you have research you’re excited about? This is your chance to present it to a friendly and supportive community of peers! Join our Academic Hydrogen Lunch Webinars, held online every last Wednesday of the month. These webinars are: ✅ Accessible: No registration for attendees—everyone’s welcome! ✅ Supportive: Present in a relaxed, peer-focused environment. We’re looking for presenters to share their work and spark engaging discussions. Whether you're seasoned or just starting out, this is your opportunity to shine, connect, and inspire the Belgian academic hydrogen community. 🎤 Ready to take the online stage? Register now—it’s just a click away! 👇

We're excited to launch a new initiative for the Belgian hydrogen academic community: the Hydrogen Lunch Webinars! 🚀 📅 When: Last Wednesday of every month, 12:00–13:00 🗣️ What: Four concise research presentations (10 min each + 5 min Q&A) 🌐 Where: Online Whether you're looking to gain insights, connect with peers, or present your own research, these webinars are a great opportunity to strengthen Belgium's hydrogen academic network. 💡 Want to participate? ➡️ Join as a participant: No registration required—just mark your calendar and hop in! ➡️ Present your work: Submit your interest via our presenter form. Anyone from PhD level onwards can present their work, regardless of the research stage you are in. 📅 First five dates (see link for more): 29 Jan 26 Feb  26 Mar  30 Apr  28 May Let’s connect, share knowledge, and build a stronger hydrogen research community together! 💙⚡ #HydrogenResearch #BelgianAcademia #Webinars #Networking

🚀 Bekaert and BE-HyFE: Exploring Hydrogen's Future Together 🚀 🐝We were thrilled to welcome BE-HyFE PhD students to our hydrogen facilities at Bekaert on Wednesday! Funded by the federal Energy Transition Fund, BE-HyFE unites all Belgian knowledge institutes for fundamental hydrogen research. 🤝 This visit was a fantastic opportunity for both Bekaert and the academic community to exchange knowledge on hydrogen technology. BE-HyFE researchers gained valuable insights into real-world applications and challenges, including an in-depth look at our Currento® solution. 👀 Read more about this inspiring visit in BE-HyFE's full article: https://lnkd.in/eCTaV8bw. Thank you Mahieu, Marijke and to the whole group for the lively interest. We’re looking forward to seeing you build the world of tomorrow! #Hydrogen #EnergyTransition #Innovation #Sustainability #Collaboration #CreativityBeyondSteel

👣 What a field day we had yesterday...being in the field! Our BE-HyFE team was invited to visit the Bekaert facilities in Zwevegem and Deerlijk, focusing on their groundbreaking innovations in #hydrogen technology—developed right here in Belgium 🌉 With these type of site visits, where we immerse our academics into the real-world applications of their work, we aim to bridge the gap between the academic and industrial hydrogen sector. 🙏 Huge thanks to Chris Dhulst & Tim De Seranno and their team for hosting our BE-HyFE group throughout the day, offering us exclusive looks into their lab at the Bekaert Tech Campus. #BekaertHydrogen #BekaertEnergyTransition #HydrogenResearch #HydrogenBackbone Read more 👇

🐝 Very proud to present the BE-HyFE project, funded by our federal FOD Economie / SPF Economie / FPS Economy, as an inspirational example of a national training network in the new Hydrogen Europe Research publication on #HydrogenFrontiers. For a quick glance, scroll to pp 30-33

It was a pleasure to present our work on compiling industrial decarbonization pathways with long-term low-carbon hydrogen infrastructure planning at the #ECEMP2024 conference, held at the European Commission in Brussels. A big thanks to the organizers of this conference, including ECEMF, iDesignRES, Tools for Energy System Modelling, and efect, for the chance to contribute to such an insightful session on the future of the industrial sector. A huge thanks as well to my dear colleagues, co-authors, and promotors Enya Lenaerts, Pieter Valkering, Erik Delarue, Pieter Vingerhoets

Attention! If you want to be part of the second EPHyC - European PhD Hydrogen Conference event then make sure you submit your abstract on time! The platform is now officially open :)

If someone would ask me 5 years ago what I know about CO2 Conversion to fuels, I wouldn't have much to say.. Don't be like me 5 years ago 😝 Good news! You can now read my first review paper and find out the current work in the field, as well as, the research gaps needing further study! Many thanks to the people who contributed with their knowledge in this work Ibrahim Khalil Alejandro Morales and of course my supervisors Michiel Dusselier and Gregoire LEONARD for their insightful input throughout the whole process BE-HyFE KU Leuven Dusselier Lab University of Liège https://lnkd.in/d9kAYren
