Sponsored by the National Fuel Cell Research Center
April 3 - 4 , 2003
Purpose:
The goal of this workshop is to bring together key researchers from universities and National Laboratories in order to focus on critical technology areas that are in need of research and development in order to hasten the advancement of fuel cells. The specific focus area of this workshop is in the area of Controls For Fuel Cells. The workshop aims to prioritize needed Controls R&D [top of page]ics for the U.S. DOE, NSF and other state and federal agencies, and (2) to establish collaborative R&D efforts between universities, national labs, industry and agencies, and (3) Organize technology and personnel exchanges amongst participants, and (4) Establish links to web-sites describing fuel cell Controls R&D efforts, and (5) Establish a regular interactive workshop on Controls for Fuel Cells with special invited guest lecturers.
