The TRIATHLON Consortium successfully held its M24 meeting in Florence, Italy, on 5–6 November 2025, hosted by Ergon Research. This milestone marks the halfway point of the project and provided an opportunity for partners to assess progress, strengthen collaboration, and plan the next steps toward achieving the project’s objectives.
Reviewing Progress and Achievements
Over two days, the consortium engaged in discussions and technical sessions, focusing on:
- Scientific and technical advancements achieved in the first half of the project spanning all four work packages including hydrogen conditioning requirements, multi‑state hydrogen storage, thermal management and thermodynamic performance, as well as system‑level analysis and the development of a technology roadmap.
- Evaluation of milestones and deliverables, ensuring alignment with project objectives.
- Strategic planning to maximize impact in the second half of the project.
- Strengthening dissemination activities to broaden outreach and visibility.
Cultural Engagement in Florence
In addition to the working sessions, participants enjoyed a guided visit through the city of Florence. This cultural experience provided insights into the city’s rich history and heritage, offering an inspiring backdrop for constructive dialogue.
