Challenges and Opportunities for Hydrogen Laboratories: UAS Salzburg and UAS Technikum Wien Share Expertise in Research and Teaching
17 June, 2025
University lecturers and researchers from UAS Salzburg and UAS Technikum Wien recently met to exchange experiences. The central topic was the establishment and operation of a hydrogen laboratory for teaching and research purposes.
A meeting between representatives of the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences and the Technikum Wien University of Applied Sciences highlighted the challenges and opportunities involved in integrating hydrogen laboratories into everyday university life. Georg Brunauer from the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences explained his expertise and the recently established laboratory infrastructure at the Kuchl campus in detail.
For university lecturers Gerhard Fritscher and Christoph Steindl, as well as program director Peter Muckenhuber, the joint discussion was very beneficial, as important aspects for setting up and operating a hydrogen laboratory in teaching and research were discussed.
Laboratory exercises in teaching are an important component
In the dual degree program in hydrogen technology, laboratory exercises are an important component of the training for prospective graduates. Students can directly transfer this knowledge to the practical phases of their studies, which they complete in renowned companies throughout Austria during the four practical phases.
