« GREEN HYDROGEN CAMP: FROM THEORY TO ACTION » Unlocking Potential with GH2 Summer School & Hackathon

Embrace your potential with the Green Hydrogen Morocco Camp: From Theory to Action! An ambitious initiative to promote green hydrogen in Morocco and raise awareness among 40 selected candidates, including Master’s students, PhD candidates, and young professionals about its significance. From July 1 to 6, 2024, the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in Morocco, the Research Institute for Solar Energy and New Energies (IRESEN), and the European Union funded Mediterranean Green Electrons and Molecules MED-GEM Network join forces to organize a summer school and a hackathon under the theme « Green Hydrogen Morocco Camp: From Theory to Action. » A groundbreaking event in the Maghreb, emphasizing international cooperation and innovation, aiming to shape a new generation of engineers and researchers for the development of sustainable solutions in Morocco’s green hydrogen sector.

From Theory… 1st Edition of the Summer School on Green Hydrogen

Scheduled from July 1 to 5, 2024, in Benguerir, Morocco, the Summer School on Green Hydrogen, organized by GIZ and IRESEN with the support of MED-GEM Network, offers a unique opportunity to delve into the dynamic field of sustainable energy. As Morocco steadfastly advances towards environmentally friendly energy solutions, this unprecedented program in the Maghreb provides an exceptional chance to explore these advancements guided by leading national and international experts in the field. The objective is to equip participants with in-depth knowledge, practical skills, and a profound understanding of the current and future applications of this revolutionary technology. The Summer School program on Green Hydrogen will cover a range of topics, including hydrogen production technologies, regulatory frameworks, PtX products, storage and transportation options, and industrial projects, through a series of lectures, workshops, and practical demonstrations. By integrating theoretical knowledge with practical skills, the program aims to prepare participants to actively contribute to the green hydrogen industry, meeting high standards of quality and sustainability.

To Action… Bootcamp and First Stage of the Green Hydrogen Hackathon

After the 5 days of GH2 Summer School, selected participants of the inaugural Green Hydrogen Morocco Camp will have the opportunity to transition from theory to action by participating in the first stage of the Green Hydrogen Hackathon on Saturday, July 6, 2024, in Benguerir, Morocco. The 40 participants, divided into 8 teams, will have 24 hours to propose innovative solutions tailored to the national market, addressing challenges related to infrastructure, industry, and potentially political and financial frameworks. At the end of the day, the top 3 teams will refine their solutions throughout the summer with mentor support, before presenting their final prototypes at the grand finale organized in October as part of the prestigious « World PtX Summit » organized by IRESEN, with the opportunity to win a study trip to Europe or prizes to support their projects.

« Green Hydrogen Morocco Camp: From Theory to Action » aims not only to apply the newly acquired knowledge by participants following the Summer School but also to encourage collaboration and the emergence of solutions beneficial locally and nationally in the green hydrogen sector. By focusing on accelerating the integration of green hydrogen into the Moroccan economy, this event positions itself as an essential platform for innovators, researchers, startups, and professionals passionate about energy transition.
