INTROduCTION Fuel cell technology is now being used across a range of market applications, improving our understanding of the opportunties for further innovation in areas such as fuel cell product cost and durability. This conference will address the key scientific, engineering and technology challenges underpinning this innovation. It will bring together researchers and technologists working on areas such as new fuel cell materials, degradation mechanisms, and system engineering, to discuss the current state-of-the-art in this fast moving and multi-disciplinary field. Attendance will benefit all those interested in or affected by the key research and development issues facing fuel cell science and technology, including research scientists, technology developers and end-users.

LANGuAGEThe official language of the conference will be English.

LOCATIONFuel Cells Science & Technology 2010 will take place at the World Trade Centre, Zaragoza, the historic capital city of the Zaragoza province, Spain.

The University of Zaragoza is headquartered in the city, one of the oldest universities of Spain and a major research and development centre. Zaragoza is also home to a General Motors – Opel factory and a Spanish Air Force base. The city’s main airport is ‘Zaragoza Airport’, a small international airport, which is utilized by NASA as a contingency landing site for the Space Shuttle in the case of a Transoceanic Abort Landing (TAL). Zaragoza is also connected

to the Spanish High Speed railway (Renfe’s AVE), by the Madrid-Barcelona high-speed rail line. Madrid is reachable in 1 hour 15 minutes, and Barcelona in approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.

ACCOmmOdATIONWe have reserved rooms at preferential rates at a number of hotels in Zaragoza. To view a list of hotels and their rates, please visit our website at: www.fuelcelladvances.com
