Throughout the overall run-time of the EU Horizon project ICEBERG, RIFS researchers contribute to developing an overarching framework that ensures research adherence to co-creation, ethics, diversity, equity, and inclusion in all WPs. During the project's General Assembly at the end of January 2026 in Bologna, RIFS, together with the non-profit organization Women of the Arctic, is organizing a participatory exercise for the interdisciplinary consortium to co-develop a knowledge communication strategy for the ICEBERG project.

As part of their role in the EU Horizon project BIRGEJUPMI, RIFS researchers contribute to the creation of a research infrastructure allowing for continuous dialogue and reflexive evaluation across knowledge systems. During the project’s General Assembly in Tartu at the beginning of February 2026, RIFS, together with the University of Oulu, is organizing a project evaluation workshop.

This seminar will bring together stakeholders from industry, finance, government, academia, and policy to address the critical challenges and opportunities across the hydrogen value chain. Discussions will focus on turning initiatives into bankable projects, ensuring long-term sustainability, avoiding stranded assets, overcoming barriers, and identifying supportive mechanisms and policy frameworks. Through shared insights, success stories, and scenario planning, the seminar aims to provide practical answers for those shaping and investing in the future of clean hydrogen.
