The IRION project has officially started following its Kick-off Meeting, held on January 20 and 21, 2026, in Valencia, Spain, at the premises of AIMPLAS, the project coordinator. Over two days, consortium partners gathered for discussions, collaboration, and alignment on the project’s vision, objectives and next steps.
The meeting offered an opportunity for partners to get to know each other better, present their organizations, and exchange views on upcoming work. Dedicated sessions were held to present and discuss the project’s Work Packages, enabling the consortium to delve into the technical and organizational aspects of IRION more thoroughly and plan activities for the initial project period.
Funded under the HORIZON-JU-CLEANH2-2025-05-01 topic by the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, IRION unites 10 partners from seven European countries (Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, and Cyprus). The consortium includes research and technology organizations, SMEs and large companies, bringing together complementary expertise across the hydrogen value chain. IRION’s partnership encompasses a wide range of knowledge areas such as polymer chemistry, materials science, engineering, modeling, environmental and social assessment, and sustainable and safe-by-design approaches.
Fully motivated for the journey ahead, the IRION consortium looks forward to delivering innovative and impactful results!
