On 22–23 July 2025, the HyCoFlex consortium gathered in Roermond, the Netherlands, for a General Assembly meeting and technical workshop hosted at the Smurfit Westrock site.
The meeting marked an important step as the project moves closer to its first testing campaign. Partners reviewed the latest progress across all technical areas and focused on aligning the remaining work needed to ensure readiness for upcoming experimental activities.
A central part of the discussions was dedicated to preparing the 2025 testing phase. Consortium members worked in detail on the testing masterplan, safety procedures, and technical readiness of key components. Topics such as hydrogen integration, fuel mixing, electrolyser operation, and combustion systems were discussed in focused sessions, allowing partners to address open points and coordinate their approaches.
The workshop format encouraged practical, hands-on exchanges, supporting efficient decision-making and clear definition of next steps. In parallel, partners also addressed project management and reporting aspects to ensure smooth execution during the upcoming project phase.
The second day included a site visit to Smurfit Westrock, offering participants valuable insight into a relevant industrial environment and fostering exchange on practical applications in similar settings.
