8th RUHR-Symposium

“Funktionale Materialien für Wasserstoff“

Oktober 19th, 2022

We are pleased to announce that we will be holding the successful Ruhr Symposium format for the eighth time this year. This event, which is characterized by the combination of representatives from academic research and industry in tandem lectures, will this year be dedicated to the topic of „Functional Materials for Hydrogen“.

A special feature of this year’s event is the scheduling of the Ruhr Symposium together with the Duisburg Future Talks, a public panel discussion sponsored by the MERCATOR Foundation and organized by Duisburg Business & Innovation and the Hy.Region.Rhein.Ruhr association.

Between the symposium and the Duisburg Future Talks, which will take place as an evening event at the Fraunhofer inHaus Center, there will be an interesting bridge program, where we invite representatives from industry and the public to visit the NETZ building and the ZBT.
