PANEL SESSION:

“Imagining a Hydrogen-fuelled World: Creative reflections on hydrogen research”

This session will share a new short film created by the artist Elinor Coleman in collaboration with researchers at Brunel Hydrogen (Brunel University of London) and funded by the Royal Society of Chemistry. Coleman’s film imagines a future in which hydrogen is a familiar fuel. Panelists from Brunel will reflect on the development of the film, and invite open discussion on the ways in which arts practice can invite new perspectives on emerging technologies.
