The 6th International Fuel Cell Workshop 2012 was held on Thursday, August 2 and Friday, August 3 at the Kofu Fujiya Hotel in Japan.
The workshop consists of 12 invited oral presentations by leaders in this technical field from Asia, Europe and the United States and 68 contributed posters. Papers have been solicited to cover fundamental and applied topics of PEFCs for electric vehicles and residential applications.
More than 200 people, including many attendees from abroad, took part in animated discussions.
Toyota, Nissan and Honda held an exhibition of fuel cell-powered electric vehicles, which included test driving. In addition, an exhibition was held of mobile hydrogen station, as well FC related equipment.
Most of the attendants were satisfied with the opportunity to access the most up-to-date research information and exchange views in the field of fuel cells
The 6th International Fuel Cell Workshop 2012 was thus successfully held and the next Workshop is planned to be held in 2015.
We very much appreciate the active participation of all the attendees from both home and abroad, in many animated discussions.
I hope that this workshop has facilitated the exchange of the most up-to-date research information in the field of fuel cells, as well as building new friendships.
Thank you very much to all of the workshop attendees, as well as all those who helped to make the workshop a success.
