Abstract

This research proposal aims to disseminate for the general public the knowledge developed within the project "From Fundamental to Application: Reaching new Frontiers in Fuel Cell Technologies" to be developed at Institute of Physics and Polytechnic School in the University of São Paulo in collaboration with the Research Centre for Gas Innovation (RCGI). The public perception of the fuel cell technologies is critical for their massive application. The goal of this proposal is three-fold, one is to produce content about fuel cells and about the on-going development of the project for the general public, to disseminate this content through the distinct media and social networks through digital storytelling and promote this knowledge within primary and high-schools. This proposal can also be integrated within the dissemination program at RCGI. It is expected that the activities proposed here can contribute with the understanding and the importance of Fuel cells for the general public and in particular for the younger generations.
