International Workshop on Electrolysis & Fuel Cell MEA: Roll-to-Roll Production

The International Workshop on Electrolysis & Fuel Cell MEA: Roll-to-Roll Production will take place on June 24-25, 2026, both onsite at Fraunhofer ISE in Freiburg, Germany, and online.

This two-day event brings together leading experts along the entire roll-to-roll (R2R) value chain-from catalyst powders and inks to fully assembled MEAs and quality control.

Why should you attend?
Get a complete overview of R2R MEA production: Follow the full process from catalyst powder and ink formulation through industrial-scale coating and MEA manufacturing.
Learn from industrial front-runners: Hear concrete production insights from Johnson Matthey, Siemens Energy and other key industry players.
Deepen your understanding of catalyst inks: Explore different concepts and production strategies for R2R coating in a dedicated ink session.
Discover best practices in inline and end-of-line quality control: Gain insight into inline vision systems, defect detection, and process monitoring for reliable large-scale production.
Experience state-of-the-art labs: Join guided tours of Fraunhofer ISE's production research facilities - the world's only research institute that operates industrial-scale production equipment.
Expand your network: Use the panel discussions, pitches, evening event and coffee breaks to exchange ideas and identify new collaboration opportunities.

We look forward to welcoming you in Freiburg and online.
