This booklet assembles synopses of fuel cell and hydrogen projects and thematic networks funded under the various Specific Programmes and covers the whole of the Fifth Framework Programme (1999-2002), ranging from basic research to large scale demonstration. It also describes the activities directly undertaken by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission in these areas. Each project is summarised, listing the objectives of the project, the challenges faced, the approach taken, the exploitation and impact of the work and the results that have been achieved to date. Some of the projects described have only just started, some are ongoing and some are nearing completion. Each synopsis contains an information section where specific details can be found, including the contact point for further information.
