The international conference is aimed at (i) presenting technical and scientific results on fuel cell materials, fuel cell stacks and systems and their applications, and (ii) initiating international scientific exchanges between laboratories, fuel cells suppliers, component manufacturers and industrial end-users.

A number of exhibition stands will be held in the conference hall. This will be an ideal opportunity for fuel cell materials and hardware suppliers as well as manufacturers to advertise their products and to present them to future users.

The three-day technical conference will consist of invited lectures, contributed papers and posters. The following topics will be addressed : Fundamentals of fuel cells, with emphasis of physicochemical phenomena occurring in fuel cells Developments of fuel cells components and systems Applications of Fuel cells Fuel cell market and Costs From the various contributions presented, it is hoped to cover the various scientific disciplines involved in Fuel Cell development, regardless of their nature and working conditions. In addition aspects of industrial and economical relevancy of fuel cell technology are to be presented and discussed.
