Project Summary

Hydrogen (H2) can play a substantial role in alleviating emissions in the coming decades and being part of the
mosaic of solutions for the mitigation of the climate change. Particularly, green H2 can serve as the crucial
element to decarbonize hard to abate sectors such as selected transport and industrial segments, while helping
the integration of large amounts of variable renewable energy sources to offer flexibility in the power sector. The
EU has been encouraging a clean H2 economy by 2030, and the strategy to achieve its 2050 decarbonisation
goals foresees 24% of H2 contributing to the total energy demand by 2050, 560 Mt CO2 abatement per year, 820
bn euro annual revenue generation, and a 15% reduction in local emission. The rapid development of the
European Hydrogen Value Chain is expected to create approximately 1 million highly skilled jobs by 2030, and up
to 5.4 million by 2050.
Developing appropriate trainings is of utmost importance for the deployment of the sector, and ensuring the
requested skills for the H2 sector is a central concern for companies.
In this regard, we believe that there is a substantial need of education and teaching programs fully dedicated to
H2 technologies in the study cycles, and that this specific education has to be driven by research-oriented higher
educational institutes together with the technological and economic inputs coming from the companies most
involved in the energy transition towards decarbonization.
In this regard, 5 HEIs in cooperation with 5 “top-H2” EU industries feel the need to create “Hydrogen Systems and
Enabling Technologies” (HySET), a JM program fully dedicated to the H2 area. The aim of HySET is to educate
well-trained and enthusiastic professionals with an extensive multidisciplinary knowledge of hydrogen
technologies and systems; their training occurs in an international, multicultural environment to stimulate global
collaboration to cope with the complex challenges of the energy transition.
