Access Activities in brief

In order to provide and support transnational access to science and developement of fuel cells and hydrogen technology, helpfull documents and guidlines became prepared by the project partners which can be directly downloaded in the "Proposal Submission" area.

  • Each infrastructure has its own description (see installation book)
  • Each infrastructure is separated into various installations which are detailed described within the installation book (also via a digital list of installation under Installations)
  • Each installation has its dedicated technical expert for communication and execution of user projects
  • All responsibilities and realization of access on side of respective installation
  • Realising service to the users on side of respective installation
  • Planning and technical pre-preparation of user experiments on side of respective installation (technical experts) in cooperation with the users or user groups
  • Technical experts reports results towards the users or user groups
  • H2FC is respecting non disclosure agreements (templates available)
