BAM and the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU) have jointly founded the Graduate School "Trustworthy Hydrogen". It aims to ensure the development and establishment of hydrogen technology in the long term by qualifying excellent young academics.
The establishment of hydrogen as a central component of the energy transition and the energy system of the future requires highly qualified specialists. This need is recognised, among other things, in the Federal Government's hydrogen strategy, in which the strengthening of education and training in the field of hydrogen technologies is a separate measure. Particular attention is paid to the training of excellent young scientists. BAm and BTU, which cooperate in research and teaching, are leaders in Germany in research on modern hydrogen technologies. In 2020, BAM has bundled its long-standing activities in the field into the Competence Centre H2Safety@BAM. At the BTU, numerous disciplines are conducting interdisciplinary research into the production and use of green hydrogen
The doctoral students of the new Graduate School not only have access to the outstanding hydrogen expertise of BAM and BTU and a unique research infrastructure. They also benefit from a large network of national and international partners in industry, science and politics.
The Graduate School started with an orientation week including lectures and labwalks both at BTU and BAM. In the further course of the graduate school, participants will gain comprehensive knowledge of the entire value chain and the framework conditions and safety standards required for the market implementation of hydrogen. Soft skills in fields such as science communication and policy advice round off the program.
Start of the Summer School with a welcome by Dr.-Ing. Claudia Eggert, Member of the Presiding Board of BAM as well as Prof. Dr. Jan Ingo Flege (BTU) and Dr. Kai Holtappels (BAM), Technical Coordinators of the Graduate School.
