Mission

Vision

N.ERGHY is the organisation linking all European fuel cell and hydrogen research together within one strategy for the benefit of the research community.

Mission

The objective of the Association is to promote, support and accelerate the deployment of hydrogen and fuel cell technology ("HFCT") by aligning the European R&D community and by this increasing the effectiveness of the representation of this community.

Scope of activities

It includes in particular participation in the respective Joint Technology Initiative, including the respective joint undertaking or any other related structure, (hereafter referred to as the "JTI"), which is envisaged to be carried out together with the "European Industry Grouping for a Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Joint Technology Initiative" (hereafter referred to as "Industry Grouping") and the European Commission.

The Association will pursue its objective inter alia by conducting the following activities in the field of HFCT:

1. providing expertise and advice to other stakeholders, e.g. industrial companies, the European Community and its Member States, including the European Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Platform, about the results and needs of European research, and how this research can contribute to the acceleration of the deployment of hydrogen and fuel cell technology;
   
2. actively participating as a member in the creation and implementation of the joint undertaking for the JTI and in its decision process, in particular its highest decision making organ, or any other committees by electing from among its members representatives for such purpose and defining positions of the research community;
   
3. reaching a better gathering of the above-mentioned research community by mapping existing research competences, facilities and expertise and maintaining a respective knowledge base for its Members and third parties;
   
4. formulating joint views on existing and future needs on research infrastructures and programmes; special attention will be drawn to the interrelation and cooperation between upstream, basic and applied research, with the support of national and European programmes;
   
5. issuing any other coordinated positions of the research community and representation of the interests of its Members as research organisations and the research community in general towards third parties.
