Decarbonisation of industry and energy supply through hydrogen – opportunities and risks of the green transformation

Green hydrogen is one of the most important building blocks for ensuring climate neutrality in industry, transport, trade and households. The first Saarland Summer School is dedicated to the topic of decarbonising industry using green hydrogen, highlighting the opportunities and risks of the upcoming transformation.

The Summer School is designed and planned as an international education and networking format that addresses the future of green hydrogen and its role in the decarbonisation of industry and energy systems. The Summer School combines technical expertise with educational standards and intercultural learning, promoting collaborative learning across disciplines, languages and cultures. Through intensive teaching units, discussions, workshops and excursions, participants benefit from a reflective, experience-based learning approach that strengthens their knowledge, mindset and communication skills in equal measure.

The programme is conducted in English with an international and interdisciplinary focus and comprises around 45 teaching units. Depending on the individual regulations of each university, participating students should have the opportunity to earn 3 ECTS** credits through their participation.

Educational Leave Available
Pursuant to Section 6, Subsections 2 and 3 of the Saarland Educational Leave Act (SBFG), employees within the sustainability and hydrogen industries are eligible to apply for a release from work for vocational training purposes.

**The organisers propose awarding 3 ECTS credits for the complete summer school; approved by the home university
