The Third European Summer School on Hydrogen Safety - 2008

Posted on | Kamis, 27 Maret 2008 | No Comments

The Third European Summer School on Hydrogen Safety will be held at the
University of Ulster (Belfast, UK) from 21 - 30 July, 2008. This Summer
School is funded by the European Commission under the HyCourse project
(March 2006 - February 2010).
The topical content of the School covers the
whole spectrum of activities of the European Network of Excellence HySafe
"Safety of Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier" and complies with the
International Curriculum on Hydrogen Safety Engineering. The state-of-the
art in Hydrogen Safety will be covered from fundamentals to applications and
topics included: hydrogen release, mixing, and distribution; thermal,
pressure and missile effects from fires and explosions; development and
validation of mitigation techniques; safety assessment and risk analysis;
and standards, guidelines and legal requirements. The teaching materials of
this Summer School are used in World's First Higher Educational Programme in
Hydrogen Safety Engineering.

How to Apply for the Summer School

Download the application form (.doc format, .pdf format) and return this
together with your CV by post, fax or email to ESSHS@ulster. ac.uk. The
latest deadline for the submission of the application form and CV is the
11th of June 2008 - early application is advised since places will fill up
rapidly.

Sixty applicants are selected for funding by this EC-funded project: 33 with
research experience of up to 4 full time equivalent years, 25 with research
experience from 4 to 10 years and 2 with experience of more than 10 years.
The number of research years is counted from the date of obtaining the
degree giving access to doctoral studies without having to acquire any
further qualifications.
· Funded applicants are exempted from payment of the registration fee to
attend the lectures and will benefit from the following: reimbursement of
travel costs up to €240 (for applicants with up to 10 years of research
experience) and €478 (for applicants with more than 10 years of research
experience); reimbursement of living costs (accommodation, meals) up to €105
per day, a delegate pack, etc. Please take notice of the conditions for
being a ESSHS funded delegate.
· Self-funded participants will pay a registration fee €800 to attend the
lectures of Summer School (incl. delegate pack with lecture notes etc.) and
have to complete Registration before the 6th of July 2008. Self-funded
participants are to cover their own travel and living costs.

Selection criteria
· Applicants should have a first degree (enabling them to undertake doctoral
studies).
· Applicants need to have real involvement with the Hydrogen industry,
research or similar, especially safety.
· Applicants who are a member of one of the EU Hydrogen projects – e.g.
HySafe, HYWAYS, HySAFEST, HYPER, NATURALHY, StorHy, HarmonHy, HYDROGEN,
HYTRAIN, etc. are encouraged to apply.
· Applicants who are undertaking or about to undertake higher education in
Hydrogen Safety (e.g. registered with the Master of Science in Hydrogen
Safety Engineering) will be given preference.
· A maximum of 30% of applicants from any one country.
· Women are encouraged to apply to meet the target of 40% of total
applicants.
· Preference is given to young researchers with up to 4 years research
experience – then preference to researchers with more than 4 but less than
10 years experience.
See page 19 of the Marie Curie Conferences & Training Courses Handbook.
· "This action will primarily be directed at early stage researchers. More
experienced researchers will also be able to benefit from this action where
the possibilities offered in the contract are not used for early stage
researchers. Researchers with more than 10 years of research experience
(full-time equivalent), counting from the time the degree/diploma was
obtained giving access to embark on a doctorate in the country where it was
awarded, will not be eligible for support, except in the case of researchers
who are nationals of Member States, or Associated States active outside
these states at the time of an event: these researchers shall be eligible,
so that they may establish or strengthen links with the European research
community (contact building effect for the transfer of knowledge)."
