NIMPHEA coordinator visits the CNRS

On October 5th and 6th 2023, the NIMPHEA project coordinator, Yan Duranteau (R&T Project lead), along with Marion Scohy (Stack design Engineer) visited the CNRS premises for a two-day workshop.

They were welcomed there by Tristan Asset (CNRS Researcher – Project manager for NIMPHEA) and Kirill Dosaev (Postdoctoral researcher).

It was an opportunity for Safran Power Units to present their Hydrogen Roadmap to the CNRS team.

The two partners also discussed very technical issues related to the NIMPHEA project such as GDL (Gas Diffusion Layer), catalyst layer structure and PVD (Plasma Vapor Deposition) aspects, as well as upcoming dissemination activities for the project.

NIMPHEA partners will also all get the opportunity to discover the CNRS premises when they all meet there for NIMPHEA second General Assembly meeting later this year.

In late May, the team from Safran Power Units was welcomed at the Advent facilities in Patras (Greece) for a two-day workshop.

It was an opportunity for Advent to present their organisation in detail and for Safran PU, as coordinator of NIMPHEA, to meet the project team at Advent.

The two partners also discussed technical issues of the project, including testing protocols and industrialisation. Safran PU also took this opportunity to present the context of aeronautical regulation in which they evolve.

The NIMPHEA project has officially started its activities in January 2023. Following an online administrative kick-off on 16 January, the consortium met for the first NIMPHEA General Assembly meeting, held on 23-24 March in Paris, France.

The NIMPHEA consortium, composed of seven organisations from four different European countries, met to discuss specific technical issues related to the different work packages and refine tasks for the first five months of the project as well as present project monitoring methods and tools. The communication and dissemination tools, objectives and rules were also presented to the 21 participants.
