Dear Sir/Madam,
Greetings from India!
My self Dr. Yogendra K. Gautam, Assistant Prof,, Department of Physics, Chaudhary. Charan Singh University Meerut, India (NAAC: A++ Accredited.
I am working on solid state hydrogen storage using Mg-based nanomaterials by low energy, Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ERDA). I am also working on development of materials for hydrogen gas sensors and Hydrogen gas sensors.
The 3rd International Summer School on UHS, which will be held in Edinburgh between the 8th and 12th of July 2024 is a big platform for me to learn many things and connect to well known academicians/scientists of hydrogen storage. I am highly interested in participating in the programme.
I would be happy to be a part of this important event as a participant. Please provide financial support for registration, fee, travel, meal and accommodation for the same.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
Thank you for your interest in the summer school. the booking should go live in the next few weeks so please do check back. I am afraid we do not have any financial support for attendance. the attendance costs will be £650 for in person (non student) or £75 for online attendance.
Hello! The course seems to cover a lot of interesting topics and I’d like to attend it in person. Could you please tell me how to register for the event? i could not find a registration link.
Thank you for your interest in the summer school – the booking system should go live in the next few weeks, please check this site for any updates

Hello, what would be the cost of attendance for PhD students coming from US ? Thank you
Hi the student cost for in person attendance is £300.
Dear Sir/Madam,
This summer school seems to be in line with my PhD topic (hydrogen infrastructure for Europe) and I would like to attend.
I would als like to ask: how many ECTS does it provide? How many hours in total?
Hello – I am afraid we do not have any formal ECTS credits for this course
Hello, I am an EngD student at the Univeristy of Edinburgh, on the IDCORE programme. I would like to join the summer school, but unfortunetly I am away from Edinburgh on an IDCORE module during that week. If I was to sign up for the online attendance, will the masterclass / meetings / presentations be recorded, so that I could catch up on the content in my own time?
Thanks for your help. Eoghan
Hi – yes it is anticipated that we will record the talks so that you could catch up on teh content.
