Month: April 2025

On 7 April 2025, the Hydrogen Competence Region Düssel.Rhein.Wupper, together with educational institutions, held a forward-looking workshop in Düsseldorf on the topic of “Skilled labour requirements in the hydrogen economy”. Hydrogen plays a central role in the future of the sustainable industrial economy. The promotion and demand for skilled labour in this area is therefore of great importance.

Prof. Dr Martin Faulstich presented the Master’s degree programme Sustanable Energy and Hydrogen Infrastructures at EUREF CAMPUS Düsseldorf and led the third workshop “Academic Qualification” together with Prof. Dr Wilhelm Hannibal.

In his opening speech, Lord Mayor Dr Stephan Keller emphasised the importance of hydrogen for Düsseldorf’s climate strategy and economic development. The event clearly showed that the transition to a hydrogen economy can only be successfully realised through close cooperation between business, science and education.

The Hannover Messe took place on 2 April 2025 with the theme ENERGIZING A SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRY.

Daniel Ohl moderated a panel as a speaker from the NRW Competence Network for the Environmental Economy (KNUW) and PhD scholarship holder of the INZIN Institute in the field of plastics recycling. The focus was on innovations in the plastics sector – improving recyclability through additive manufacturing technologies.

Hannover Messe 2025 was an informative and forward-looking event. The high level of interest and response shows that sustainable material solutions and the circular economy are key topics for the industry.

We congratulate our doctoral student Daniel Ohl on his successful trade fair appearance!
