The training program "Practical Knowledge for Hydrogen Projects (Advanced Level)" was developed and implemented by a consortium of several Fraunhofer Institutes. Fraunhofer IWES is leading the project in close collaboration with Fraunhofer IST. The pilot training is part of the HySecunda project (project number 03SF0734), which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR). TÜV SÜD South Africa (Pty) Ltd supported the training as an associated partner.
