On October 17-18, the REDHy consortium gathered in Valencia for its second face-to-face meeting, hosted by the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). This two-day event featured a full day of work package (WP) updates, two workshop sessions, and a tour of the ITQ lab.
The meeting kicked off with an overview of project management, followed by an in-depth presentation from UPV on the progress of WP2, Redox Mediators. CENMAT then provided an update on WP3, covering the bipolar membrane. After a brief coffee break, the day continued with a presentation from CNRS on WP4, which focuses on electrode design and optimization. IDN (WP7) led an engaging workshop on LCA methodology and data collection, offering valuable insights to all participants.
After lunch, CNR presented WP5, highlighting the development and validation of the Single Cell REDHy prototype. UNR closed the first day with an update on WP8, focused on dissemination and communication, including a short session dedicated to showcasing the project’s communication materials (e.g., the website, LinkedIn) and outlining next steps for further dissemination and exploitation.
That evening, during a working dinner, strategic discussions about the project’s future direction took place.
On the second day, DLR led a session on WP6, the REDHy system, followed by a workshop session that delved into project technologies, system design, and the challenges ahead. Participants were divided into smaller groups to engage in more in-depth conversations, collaborate on specific topics, and brainstorm ideas.
The event concluded with an engaging and informative tour of the ITQ labs. As we wrap up this inspiring General Assembly, we are grateful for the chance to connect, learn from one another, and see firsthand the impact of our collaborative efforts. The productive discussions, strengthened partnerships, and enlightening tour have renewed our determination to achieve REDHy’s common goals and drive the development of more sustainable solutions.
