Klaipeda University Joins the European Hydrogen Platform: Studies, Research and Partnerships to Be Strengthened

The Faculty of Marine Technologies and Natural Sciences of Klaipeda University has taken another significant step towards green energy by becoming a partner of the HyAcademy.eu initiative, funded under the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme, and by receiving certification from The European Hydrogen Academy. This important recognition confirms the University’s readiness to contribute to strengthening hydrogen-related competences in Europe and to the education and training of highly qualified specialists.

This partnership is the result of consistent cooperation with EUREC (European Renewable Energy Research Centres) that has been ongoing for more than a year. The aim of the HyAcademy.eu initiative is to develop a pan-European training platform that supports the education of highly skilled hydrogen energy professionals and further brings together universities, industry and research centres as Europe moves towards a climate-neutral economy.

According to Vice-Dean for Studies, Assoc. Prof. Dr Dalia Baziukė, the new status opens up wide international opportunities for the Faculty:
“Joining HyAcademy.eu is one of the outcomes of our more than year-long cooperation with EUREC. It opens new opportunities for our students and researchers to engage in international projects, gain access to cutting-edge knowledge, and contribute to the development of clean energy solutions.”

Participation in HyAcademy.eu will enable Klaipeda University to strengthen both its study programmes and research activities. Plans include the integration of new study modules focused on hydrogen technologies, more systematic development of green innovation specialists, and attracting young people who are concerned about the future of sustainable energy.The partnership also opens pathways for student mobility, internships and professional networking with advanced European energy sector companies. For researchers, it provides increased opportunities to engage in international research projects, strengthen cooperation with leading green technology centres, and participate more actively in competitive funding calls.

HyAcademy.eu brings together universities and research institutions committed to accelerating the transition to a sustainable energy system and building a shared network of competences. Klaipėda University’s involvement in this initiative demonstrates a clear strategic choice: to invest in future technologies and to develop regional competences in areas where Europe is already shaping the energy landscape of tomorrow.

The awarded The European Hydrogen Academy certificate confirms the readiness of the Faculty of Marine Technologies and Natural Sciences to be an active part of the European clean energy competence platform and to contribute to the development of the rapidly growing hydrogen economy.
