GH2 Morocco Summer Camp

From July 1 to 6, 2024, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the Research Institute for Solar Energy and New Energies (IRESEN), and the European Union funded MED-GEM Network organize a summer school and a hackathon under the theme "Green Hydrogen Morocco Camp: From Theory to Action." An ambitious initiative to promote green hydrogen in Morocco and raise awareness among 40 selected candidates.

From Theory... 1ST EDITION OF THE SUMMER SCHOOL ON GREEN HYDROGEN
Scheduled from July 1 to 5, 2024, in Benguerir, Morocco, the GH2 Summer School offers a unique opportunity to delve into the dynamic world of green hydrogen. As Morocco moves resolutely towards environmentally friendly energy solutions, this program offers an exceptional opportunity to explore these advances, guided by leading experts in the field. Our aim is to arm the selected participants with in-depth knowledge, practical skills, and a comprehensive understanding of the green hydrogen and Power-to-X (PtX) technology. This will prepare them to play an active role in the green hydrogen industry, meeting high standards of quality, and sustainability.

To Action... BOOTCAMP AND FIRST STAGE OF THE GREEN HYDROGEN HACKATHON
After the 5 days of GH2 Summer School, participants of the inaugural Green Hydrogen Morocco Camp will have the opportunity to transition from theory to action by participating in the first stage of the Green Hydrogen Hackathon on Saturday, July 6th, 2024, in Benguerir, Morocco. The 40 participants, divided into 8 teams, will have 24 hours to propose innovative solutions tailored to the national market, addressing challenges related to infrastructure, industry, and potentially political and financial frameworks. At the end of the day, the top 3 teams will refine their solutions throughout the summer with mentor support, before presenting their final prototypes at the grand finale organized in October 2024 as part of the prestigious "World PtX Summit" in Marrakech, with the opportunity to win a study trip to Europe or prizes to support their projects.
