Over the past few months, the UK-HyRES Early Career Researcher (ECR) Webinar Series, led by ECR Chair Dr Sibimol Luke, has brought together researchers from across the hydrogen community to explore some of the key challenges and opportunities facing researchers today. 

In this Behind the Paper feature, lead author Dr Rajan Jagpal reflects on the motivation behind the review, the questions that shaped the research, and what the team learned along the way.

Organisations from across the hydrogen sector came together at the Hyppo Hydrogen Expo in July to showcase the technologies, partnerships and projects shaping the future of hydrogen.

Communicating research beyond academia is an essential part of accelerating the transition to a low-carbon future. Hear from Judges’ Choice Poster Award winner Lila Mahmoud on her HEA Conference experience.

UK-HyRES has awarded more than £4.27min flexible funding to support pioneering hydrogen research, helping to accelerate innovation and strengthen the UK’s hydrogen research community.

Researchers from UK-HyRES and HI-ACT came together at University College London for a dedicated Research Synergies Workshop, exploring how the two EPSRC-funded hydrogen research hubs can work together to tackle some of the UK’s biggest energy challenges.

Discover the UK-HyRES Flexible Fund 4 – the Challenge Call, including the funding opportunity and Expression of Interest (EOI) process.

Explore what research impact means, why it matters, and how early career researchers (ECRs) can build evidence for real-world change.

This year’s event will bring together the people driving real deployment, breakthrough research, and the next wave of commercial opportunities. Whether you’re working on technology, policy, investment, R&D or implementation, this is your chance to connect with the ideas and partners shaping the future of hydrogen landscape.

Gain practical insights into using AI to enhance your research, productivity, and career development.

Connecting diverse voices to explore hydrogen, alternative liquid fuels and the systems, challenges and innovations shaping the future.

Learn networking & LinkedIn strategies to build your profile, grow connections, and boost your research visibility.

Reclaim your time and learn how to master energy, prioritise what matters, and build a sustainable, high-impact research career.

UK-HyRES / TARG:ET will host a FREE one-day workshop at the University of Portsmouth on Thursday April 30th to bring together academics and non-academics with interests in the social acceptance of hydrogen & alternative liquid fuels.

Discover what makes a strong, competitive research proposal and learn practical tips to improve your next bid.

Read the latest UK HyRES Research Excellence presentation focusing on the capabilities and collaboration opportunities within the Hub.

Read the findings of a joint UK-HyRES and HI-ACT roundtable, which looked at the future research needs for the community. Academic and business attendees discussed issues of digitalisation, technologies, and whole systems, and what this means for key research to support hydrogen and alternative liquid fuels.

On Friday the 21st October we held our rescheduled interactive and participatory workshop. There was an amazing response from across the hydrogen community with over 90 participants. Facilitated by The Collective, we first heard from Prof Tim Mays, who welcomed all attendees, before Prof Rachael Rothman introduced our vision for the Hub.

Alternative liquid fuels such as ammonia are increasingly regarded as a key component of the future energy mix towards the net zero imperative. Through our launch workshop, you also told us that alternative liquid fuels was one of the major areas that you wanted to discuss.
