For ENTRANCE - Centre of Expertise Energy at Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen, we are looking for a communication coordinator for the Unlock Project.

Many green hydrogen initiatives are led by large industries, while the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) remains limited. In fact, it seems that many local SMEs are not even aware of the opportunities and challenges that come with developing local green hydrogen economies. The UNLOCK project (UNLOCK - ENTRANCE) en UNLOCK - Unlocking Green Hydrogen Economy for SMEs in European Regions | Interreg Europe, initiated and developed by ENTRANCE, aims to enable regional and local policymakers across Europe to facilitate SME participation in local green hydrogen economies. This way, SMEs can fully benefit from the opportunities that regional hydrogen economies offer.

What you will do

You will further establish the international UNLOCK project and oversee its planning and execution. Additionally, you will be responsible for implementing specific communication obligations within the UNLOCK project and keeping the project webpage up to date. You will lead the communication efforts of the entire consortium and manage the project page UNLOCK - Unlocking Green Hydrogen Economy for SMEs in European Regions | Interreg Europe. Since most communication within the project is conducted in English, an excellent command of English is essential. Moreover, as Hanze University is the lead partner in this project, a final event for the UNLOCK project will be held in Brussels in two years. Strategic planning for this event starts now.

Your workplace

You will work at ENTRANCE - Centre of Expertise Energy at Hanze University of Applied Sciences, which, as a learning, practice-oriented knowledge community, aims to contribute to a robust and resilient energy supply. Through high-quality applied research and education, ENTRANCE—together with citizens, businesses, social organizations, governments, and other knowledge institutions—promotes sustainable innovations.

• You are confident, highly skilled, and able to work independently.

• You have strong planning and organizational skills.

• You have an excellent command of both English and Dutch.
