ICHS /
SuitabilityOfICHSTaking into account the experience of the 1st ICHS, where no financial losses were registered and where profits were used to organise a second event, and considering that the economic structure of the conference (fees, sponsor, stands, etc.) was dimensioned to obtain the maximum dissemination level with minimum applicable fees (about 400€, i.e. the 40-60% of the fees that are applied in other similar events), it comes out clearly that the ICHS series can have a positive balance for the activities of the European Institute for Hydrogen Safety. As an example, taking as reference the number of registered attendants to the 1st ICHS - about 250 people - and presuming to double the registrations, on the basis of similar expenses, we the Conference could produce a profit of about 100.000 €. Furthermore, regarding ICHS' sustainability, during these three day events, other products of the European Institute for Hydrogen Safety can also be presented, published and/or sold. In this manner, the conference may serve as a vessel to consolidate the position of the European Institute for Hydrogen Safety against the world wide competition. |
