HESTIA meets SE²A
Unlocking hydrogen combustion in aeroengines: perspectives on simulations, experiments and technology from the HESTIA project
Research approaches and solutions for more climate-friendly aviation from the Cluster of Excellence SE²A
9 October 2025 - 9h-16h30
Leibniz University Hannover - Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (Building 8110, room 030)
Maschinenbau Campus Garbsen, An der Universität 2, 30823 Garbsen
This scientific workshop aims to provide an overview of the numerical and experimental work as well as the technological development carried out by the HESTIA project — funded by the European Union through the Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) — to increase knowledge of the hydrogen-air combustion of future hydrogen fuelled aero-engines in order to reduce the climate impact of aviation. It is aimed at doctoral students affiliated to the institutions of the Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Aviation (SE²A) or HESTIA partners organisations.
About HESTIA
HESTIA aims to increase the scientific knowledge of the hydrogen-air combustion of future hydrogen fuelled aero-engines in order to reduce the climate impact of aviation. To this end, HESTIA gathers 17 universities and research centres as well as the 6 European aero-engine manufacturers to significantly prepare in a coherent and robust manner the future development of environmentally friendly combustion chambers. The project is funded by the European Union through the Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA).
About SE²A
SE²A - Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Aviation is an interdisciplinary research cluster of excellence funded by the German Science Foundation and under the leadership of aviation researchers at TU Braunschweig. SE²A partners institutions develop ideas and solutions for a more climate-friendly aviation.
