Goals

The International Conference on Hydrogen Production (ICH2P-2019) is a multi–disciplinary international conference on the production of hydrogen through various thermal, chemical, biological and other methods, as well as its use in various systems, including fuel cells. It will provide a forum for the exchange of latest advances and technical information, dissemination of new research developments in the areas of hydrogen production and usage, and debate involving the future directions and priorities in the hydrogen economy for a sustainable future. The conference will have particular value and interest to researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners who are working in the field of hydrogen production technologies, ranging from policy making and technical development to management and marketing. There will be a particular emphasis placed on thermochemical and nuclear-based hydrogen production.

Venue

The conference will be held at the Grand Hotel Italia, http://www.grandhotelitaliacluj.ro/, in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. ICH2P-2019 together with SME-2019 is organized by: AIIR - Transylvania-Cluj Branch,  ICSI Rm. Valcea and the Romanian Association for Hydrogen Energy.

Collocated event:
1. 38^th Modern Science and Energy Conference, SME 2019.

2. 3^rd International Conference on Research, Innovation and Commercialisation, ICRIC-19.

The ICRIC-19 is a multi-disciplinary international conference on research, innovation and commercialization and will provide a forum for the exchange of the latest technical information, the dissemination of the high-quality results on these issues, the presentation of the new developments and methodologies in these areas, and the debate and shaping of future directions and priorities for better industrial, environmental, energetic and economic sustainability as well as sustainable development for global security. The primary themes of the conference are research, innovation and commercialization not only in engineering and science but also in all other disciplines (e.g. ecology, education, social science, economics, management, medical sciences, political sciences, and information technology). Therefore, papers on related topics are solicited from all relevant disciplinary areas, ranging from current problems, projections, new concepts, new technologies, new methodologies, modelling, experiments, innovation, commercialization, and measurements, to simulations.
FORMAT: The format of the ICRIC-19 will be arranged with the following major elements as general papers presented in oral and poster sessions, keynote papers with invited speakers, and panel discussion and specialized sessions on special topics. There will also be co-located events referring to science and energy, social events and conference tours. High quality papers of archival value will be considered in extended form for publication in various reputable international journals.

SUBMISSION: Initial screening will be based on the abstracts, and the authors should submit their abstracts (max. 2000 chars) through ICH2P-2019 website only, www.ich2p.org . The authors will select ICRIC-19 topic in the submission section. The abstract should contain the title, names of authors and affiliations. The authors of the papers selected for publication in the conference support journals will be notified by email.

Situated in central-north-western Romania, in the center of Transylvania, Cluj-Napoca is a dynamic and vibrant city. The ancient capital of Dacia Porolissensis, Cluj–Napoca was recorded for the first time by the Greek geographer Claudius Ptolemy (AD 85 - 165) some two thousand years ago. It became a municipality during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (AD 117 – 138) under the name of Municipium Aelium Hadrianum Napoca and later to a colony, around AD 180 under Marcus Aurelius or Commodus. Today, the Municipality of Cluj-Napoca is the spiritual and economic capital of Transylvania as well as an influential academic and medical center; the heart of multiculturalism and diversity, Cluj-Napoca is the city where the past, present and future have toiled identity and local specificities.
