These areas are further subdivided into a total of 29 topics. Full details of the call can be found right here at the Cordis website.

Consortia have to be composed of at least three legal entities established in EU Member States or Associated Countries, but no two in the same country. All three entities must be independent of each other and at least one must be an industry or research organisation.

FCH JU aims to facilitate and accelerate the development and deployment of cost-competitive European hydrogen and fuel cell-based energy systems and component technologies for applications. It is a joint effort of the European Community and industry.
