The Silesian University of Technology in Rybnik, Poland, is introducing a new specialty in hydrogen technologies in collaboration with the City of Rybnik. The program, inaugurated at a technical school complex, targets pupils interested in specializing in hydrogen technologies. Classes will involve practical training at hydrogen charging stations and depots of hydrogen buses. Additionally, the university is expanding its focus to areas beyond automotive industries, such as programming hydrogen-powered robots and upcoming specializations in renewable energy sources. The authorities of Rybnik and the university have also signed a declaration to launch a new field of study on 'Sustainable Consumption and Production' to align with the region's energy transition from coal to hydrogen sources. This initiative aims to educate students on sustainable development and renewable energy sources. Furthermore, plans are underway to establish the Centre for Renewable Energy Sources and Hydrogen Technologies in Rybnik, supported by the Just Transition Fund. This center will play a vital role in economic transformation by fostering smart specializations, including hydrogen technologies and green economy projects. Collaboration with urban enterprises like the Water and Sewerage Enterprise and the Centre for Green Energy of the Western Subregion will provide students with practical learning opportunities in sustainable consumption and production.
