Welcome to HiPEM-TECH2026: High Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Technology – Materials and Applications
24 – 26 June 2026 in Oldenburg/Germany
HiPEM-TECH is the workshop about the technology of high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane (HT-PEM) fuel cells and brings together experts from research and industry to present and discuss recent advancements in materials up to applications. Participants will gain valuable insights into the development of this field and the progress towards marketability.
The upcoming HiPEM-TECH2026 will take place from 24 – 26 June 2026 in Oldenburg/Germany, and is the third event in a workshop series which will be hosted every two years by the Technical University of Denmark (DTU, Denmark), Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST, South Korea) and the German Aerospace Center in Oldenburg (DLR, Germany).
In addition to invited and contributed talks, a poster exhibition offers scientists and especially young researchers and students the opportunity to present their work and includes a price for the best poster.
The get-together and a conference dinner provide additional opportunities for lively scientific exchange in a familiar atmosphere and inspiring location.
