\"\"<\/a>New Zealand Hydrogen Symposium 2027 (NZHS-5)<\/h3>\n

**Further information will be available here in due course<\/span>, including a registration link, so please check back regularly**.<\/p>\n

The fifth symposium,\u00a0NZHS-5<\/strong>, will be hosted by the University of Otago in \u014ctepoti Dunedin, Aotearoa New Zealand, 1 \u2013 3 February 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The NZHS-x series is a multidisciplinary meeting to discuss the latest research in the many aspects of hydrogen, and will bring together local and international speakers and delegates from universities, government research agencies, iwi, policy and industrial partners. This research focussed symposium series nicely complements the industry focussed H2 2 ZERO Summits hosted by the New Zealand Hydrogen Council<\/a><\/p>\n

Dunedin is located in the province of Otago, in the South Island of\u00a0Aotearoa<\/span>\u00a0New Zealand, with direct flight connections to the rest of New Zealand. It is renowned for its relaxed culture, beaches and wildlife and is ideally placed for visiting other South Island attractions such as Queenstown, the Catlins and Fiordland.<\/p>\n

Some of you may also be intererested in participating in The MacDiarmid Institute\u2019s 12th International Conference on Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology (AMN12<\/strong><\/a><\/span>) will be held the following week in T\u0101maki Makaurau Auckland, 8 \u2013 12 February 2027, so this is a great opportunity to combine a trip to Aotearoa New Zealand and attend two fantastic conferences.<\/p>\n

We hope that you will join us at NZHS-5 in Dunedin in February 2027!<\/p>\n
