Please Join Us
Purdue University Energy Center cordially invites you to participate in the 2nd Annual Hydrogen Symposium, which will take place in the Stewart Center at Purdue University April 12-13, 2007.

The Symposium will feature plenary lectures by Dr. Charles Forsberg, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Dr. Logan Bruce, The Pennsylvania State University; keynote lectures; welcome address by Purdue President Martin C. Jischke; research presentations; and a poster session dealing with the various aspects of hydrogen generation, storage, and utilization.

Unique to this year’s symposium is an “Educate the Educators” (can be attended independently - cost $25) program targeted towards middle and high school teachers. The program will include hands-on demonstrations on hydrogen generation, storage, and safety and presentation of inexpensive fuel cell models. The attendees of this program will use the information obtained to educate their respective classes on various aspects of hydrogen utilization and storage.

This Symposium will bring together an international community of scientists working in academia, research institutes, and industrial laboratories, as well as policy-makers from governments.


The 2nd annual “Herbert C. Brown Award for Innovations in Hydrogen Research” (a plaque and cash award) will be presented at the symposium. Last year’s award recipient, Dr. Borislav Bogdanovic or his designee, will present the Award lecture during the Symposium banquet.

Nominations are being solicited for this International Award and an international committee will pick the award winner. The awardee will be presenting the “Award Lecture” during the Symposium Banquet.

The registration fee ($150 or $50 for students) covers the cost of the symposium abstracts, symposium banquet, lunch, and coffee breaks. The guest registration fee ($50) covers the cost of the symposium banquet, lunch, and coffee breaks. - Prof. Jay P. Gore (Director, The Energy Center)
