Proposals should specifically develop at least the following elements:

• Monitoring, analysis, and adaptation to future expert profile requirements in the qualification of engineers and scientists;
• Monitoring and giving access through an online portal to educational material (school and university level) that was already developed with EU public funding support;
• Gathering and revising training materials provided by closed or ongoing EU-supported projects (see above) and understanding, in liaison with industry, the education and training needs of the teachers, students, and pupil audience;
• Establishment of a network of universities and training institutions across the EU that will share into offering FCH technology education and training;
• Establishment of a network of schools across EU that will share the offers of FCH technology education at all teaching levels;
• Coordination (including at MS level) of quality assurance across FCH education and training offerings including assessment of the coverage in hydrogen education/ training in the EU and MS, the building bricks of education/training which are missing, coordination of contents development, development of standards, peer review of teaching materials, delivery formats, etc. Applicants are encouraged to identify the obstacles or barriers at the EU level and those which might need cooperation or actions at national level for a wider adoption/ endorsement of FCH education and training at the EU and the MS level;
• Creation of a minimum of ten free access high-quality textbooks (150 to 250 pages each) for supplying fundamental knowledge and industry-relevant practical skills in FCH technologies for use by teachers and lecturers in preparing classes, and by students, in a variety of EU languages; this will serve as an extensive reference library, but mainly support educators and trainers in developing their teaching;
• Establishment of a freely accessible online reference library of open-access documents useful for teaching and learning both at universities and schools;
• Provision of a set of free access school-level workbooks in a variety of EU languages, considering different educational levels and school systems, as a reference library for teachers across the EU;
• Development of novel approaches to creating learning materials and online activities based on innovative learning strategies, e.g., from storytelling formats to detailed tutorials on real cases involving industrial contributors, and including new formats such as interviews, collaborative learning activities stimulating student creativity, serious games, contests, etc. depending on the respective level of qualification, and supplying this knowledge in train-the-trainer courses for educators;
• Creation of a network of training laboratories (online and physical) to turn gained knowledge into practical experience; this will serve as a joint resource of teaching labs for the project network of institutions; this activity should also include the development of online digital tools for preparing for practical training sessions, such as serious games and simulations;
• Supply of a range of business, managerial and soft skills development materials with a focus on FCH technologies to nurture the creation of the future leadership for the hydrogen transition, supporting the creation of start-ups and spin outs;
• Creation of a business model and organisational structure that ensures the network and its tools, collected and developed content remain in operation and continue to grow after the project terminates.

Proposals should show links to and synergies with existing platforms and/or projects on education and training on hydrogen and hydrogen-related technologies as well as means of collaboration with similar activities ongoing internationally.
