2nd Conference on Hydrogen in Materials Science and Engineering (Hydrogen in Materials 2027)
February 22 – 24, 2027 | Kassel, Germany
The 2nd Conference on Hydrogen in Materials Science and Engineering focuses on the challenges and opportunities that hydrogen presents for materials in high-pressure environments and storage solutions. With hydrogen playing a key role in the decarbonization of energy systems, this conference provides an essential platform for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to exchange knowledge on materials that can withstand the unique conditions presented by hydrogen.
The conference will delve into topics such as material testing in the presence of hydrogen, spatially resolved imaging of hydrogen distribution in materials, and hydrogen-resistant materials for storage. The discussions will be interdisciplinary, involving materials scientists, chemists, physicists, and engineers, fostering collaboration and the exchange of new research findings from both experimental and simulation perspectives.
Main Topics of the Conference:
A: Material Testing under Hydrogen Influence (Including Standards)
Advancements in testing materials in hydrogen environments, including the development of international standards for safe and reliable hydrogen technologies.

H2 MSE Logo You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
