B. MEMBER MESSAGES 

GENERAL: 

FROM: Huw Edwards & Helen Brocklehurst, ATI, 10/07/2024
SUBJECT: Hydrogen Capability Network - pre-normative research proposal
DETAILS: Established in April 2023, backed by the Department for
Business and Trade (DBT), the HCN's aim is to ensure that there is
collaboration, coherence and efficiency for the aerospace sector to
enable hydrogen research and development. It is focussing on test and
demonstration infrastructure, fundamental and enabling research, and
hydrogen skills. The HCN works on behalf of the sector through a network
of stakeholders and delivery partners. 

The HCN plans to develop a pre-normative collaborative research proposal
to boost the UK's capabilities in cryogenic hydrogen. To support this,
we are requesting bids for funded work packages: desk-based assessments
of which organisations globally are active in this field, their
capability and maturity, and specifically their experimental and
modelling capabilities and we would like to reach out to the UKFN for
support in this. 

Please see this document [3] for links to reports and a video on the
tendering process. 

The deadline for submission is 12TH JULY 2024. Please contact the team
at hydrogen at ati.org.uk for any questions or to submit your proposal. 

THE HCN IS KEEN TO BUILD LINKS WITH PEOPLE WORKING IN THESE AREAS, SO
PLEASE REACH OUT AND CONTACT US ON THE EMAIL ADDRESS GIVEN ABOVE.
