About HySchool Days
The primary objective of HySchool is to contribute to the global energy transition by enhancing the quality of Norwegian doctoral training on the use of hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuel as energy carriers in society. PhD students from all universities and university colleges in Norway can be admitted to HySchool, provided research on hydrogen and/or hydrogen-based fuels is an important part of the doctoral project.
In this perspective, HySchool Days will be an annual meeting place for PhD candidates, researchers and representatives from the labour market, from different disciplines and organisations. The partners in HySchool will take turns organising HySchool at various locations in Norway.
HySchool Days 2027
will be hosting HySchool Days 2027 in Stavanger at 11-12 May 2027. For internal participants, there will be additional programs on Monday 10 May and Thursday 13 May.
The programme will feature presentations from:
- Leading researchers from national and international universities
- The labour market: industry, authorities, research institutes, cluster organisations, etc.
As such, HySchool Days 2027 represents a unique opportunity for networking, as well as an overview of contemporary research activities and industrial initiatives on hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels.

Practical information for internal participants and invited speakers
Internal participants are 1) PhD students admitted to the research school; 2) their supervisor; 3) members of the Board and 4) the Project Management Team (PMT). Please contact the main contact representative of your organisation if you are in doubt whether you should register as an internal participant.
Invited speakers are guests that have received an official invitation from the PMT of HySchool, specifically instructing you to register as an invited speaker.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, HySchool will ONLY cover expenses for accommodation booked through the regular registration process.
