Dates: 17 (pm) and 18 (am) May 2021
Location: Online
This year due to Covid restrictions the workshop will take place online instead of the pretty Belgian town of Bruges. Nevertheless, this will be the 14th online version of the Bruges Workshop in Fuel Cell Systems and we look forward to seeing you!
As usual this Workshop will be looking at fuel cell systems – somewhat with an emphasis on Fuel Cells in Maritime Applications, solid oxide, other high temperature technology, and stationary applications – but not exclusively so. As time goes by, interests broaden and in the past we have also had MCFC and PEFC technology on board, including SOFC applications for aircraft.
You may download the programme (PDF) for this event and registration is via the University of Birmingham online shop.
