Followed by a visit of the Air Liquide’s laboratories, this was an opportunity for scientific exchange on this topic between the IPVF community and Dominik Lausch.

Kick-off meetings of the 3 first joint research projects signed by IPVF’s partners took place on Nov. 18, Jan. 20 and Feb. 5. The whole project teams were gathered to review the contribution of each partners and to detail the first actions and expected deliverables for the coming months.
