H2CoVE Activities

The strategy of the Fagskulen Vestland emphasises the UN’s sustainability goals, and the green transition is an important aspect in the constant development of all educational offers. The H2CoVE project, where we act as regional partner to the Vestland eco-system in Norway, will further strengthen our competence and capacity on hydrogen, and enable us to deliver training and education of high quality for the new green industries in our region. Among other activities, we will contribute to the organising of regional and international train-the-trainer courses on hydrogen, and we will develop and pilot courses for students and for enterprises together with our regional and international partners.
