The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Southern African Science Service Centre for Climate Change and Adaptive Land Management (SASSCAL) are organizing the JCoI Youth for Green Hydrogen (Y4H2) scholarship Programme visibility event in Berlin, Germany from September 10-13, 2024. This event aims to highlight the collaborative efforts between Germany and Namibia in advancing green hydrogen technologies and sustainable energy solutions. The Y4H2 scholarship Programme is a crucial initiative empowering young Namibians through academic and non-academic courses in green hydrogen technology. The event will focus on promoting the successful German-Namibian partnership, facilitating interactions between Y4H2 students and German institutions, and providing networking opportunities with industry representatives and policymakers in the green hydrogen sector. It is expected to attract participants from Germany, Namibia, and key stakeholders in the green hydrogen industry. The objectives of the event include raising awareness about the Y4H2 program, enhancing the knowledge and skills of Y4H2 students, and establishing connections for future collaborations. The Y4H2 scholarship program, funded with €40 million over five years starting from January 2022, supports the green hydrogen transition in Namibia by offering educational opportunities to young Namibians and linking them with German experts. Overall, this initiative aims to empower Namibian youth, advance green hydrogen technologies, and strengthen the partnership between BMBF, SASSCAL, and German institutions in driving the green hydrogen mobility agenda forward.
