NEWSLETTER #1 Teaching Fuel Cell and Hydrogen
Science and Engineering Across Europe within
Horizon 2020
Dear
Reader, It is our great pleasure to introduce
you to the development of the educational
platform TeacHy2020 which
addresses the supply of undergraduate and
graduate education (BEng/BSc, MEng/MSc, PhD
etc.) in fuel cell and hydrogen technologies
(FCHT) across
Europe.
The TeacHy2020 project
organised the kick-off meeting in Brussels on
21st November
.
The main objective of
the project is to deliver a
substantially improved teaching of Fuel Cell and
Hydrogen content across Europe by the year
2020.
TeacHy2020 will take a
lead in building a repository of university grade
educational material, as well as design and run an
MSc course on FCHT, accessible to students across
Europe. To achieve this, the project has assembled
a core group of highly experienced
institutions working with a network of associate
partners (universities, vocational training
bodies and industry). The project
partnership covers the prevalent languages and
educational systems in Europe. The associated
network has over 20 partners, including two IPHE
countries, and a strong link to IPHE activities in
education.
One main project
outcome will be to build and run a 1 year MSc
course during the project, accessible to master's
students across Europe. Schemes of Continuous
Professional Development (CPD) will be integrated
into the project activities. In particular, the
PgCert in Professional Development (Hydrogen
Safety) will be established and started in
September 2018.
In addition to collecting
the teaching and training material, on an
electronic platform, and composing the 1 year
specialisation MSc course, TeacHy2020 also aims to
use the electronic platform to become a
single-stop shop repository for accessing FCHT
information by a wider range of target groups,
including, the general public and professionals,
that can benefit from the resources and
initiatives of the
project.
The TeacHy2020
content offered by e-learning formats will be
integrated onto the NET-Tools platform. In
collaboration with NET-Tools a specific section
will be deployed on the server reserved for
TeacHy2020 learning management system for hosting
the content.
