International Technology Exchange Meeting Held to Advance Water Electrolysis Systems
An international forum will be held to explore innovative directions for "water electrolysis systems," a next-generation clean energy technology that will lead the era of carbon neutrality.
The Korea Federation of Science and Technology Societies will host the "2025 Excellent Researcher Exchange Support (BrainLink) Technology Exchange Meeting" at the Oakwood Premier Hotel in Songdo, Incheon, from October 23 to 25.

This event is supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT and will bring together 28 domestic and international experts in the hydrogen field. They will engage in in-depth discussions on the theme of "Developing Integrated Catalyst-Electrolyte-System Technologies for the Advancement and Industrialization of Water Electrolysis Systems."
The water electrolysis system is a core technology that uses electricity to split water (H₂O) and produce hydrogen. As it enables clean hydrogen production without fossil fuels, it is considered a central technology for green hydrogen production. In particular, this exchange meeting will focus on research achievements and future strategies to improve the efficiency of the entire water electrolysis process, including catalyst, electrolyte, and system integration.
Photoelectrochemical water electrolysis (PEC) technology, which directly uses solar energy to split water, will also be a major topic of discussion. By combining electricity and light, this technology maximizes energy efficiency and enables the production of high-value-added chemicals, making it a promising next-generation hydrogen production method.
World-renowned scholars will participate as speakers at this technology exchange meeting. Professor Jingtang Tom Luo of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Professor Lianzhou Wang of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Professor Gang Liu of the Institute of Metal Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor Hongjin Pan of Nanyang Technological University, and Professor Yijun Ong of Xiamen University Malaysia will deliver presentations.
From Korea, leading hydrogen researchers such as Professor Lee Jinwoo of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Professor Park Jonghyuk of Yonsei University, and Professor Kim Yongtae of Pohang University of Science and Technology will share the latest research trends and directions for industrialization. Professor Kim Sooyoung of Korea University and Professor Suzhang Chao of the University of Adelaide in Australia will oversee the entire program as organizing committee members.
Professor Kim Sooyoung stated, "Water electrolysis systems are the most direct solution for hydrogen production without carbon emissions and are a strategic technology for future energy security. If innovation in catalysts and electrolytes is combined with system optimization, the transition to a hydrogen economy will accelerate significantly."
The Korea Federation of Science and Technology Societies emphasized, "This exchange meeting will strengthen collaboration among domestic and international researchers and serve as a catalyst for Korean hydrogen technology to reach a world-class level. We are committed to playing a leading role in research and international cooperation in the hydrogen field."
