The HERFUSE consortium convened in the historic and picturesque city of Naples for the Gate Review Meeting, held on 10–11 April 2025. This important milestone brought together all project partners to reflect on progress, share insights, and align on the road ahead.

Over the course of two days, the meeting featured a series of in-depth presentations, technical discussions, and valuable feedback sessions. A special thanks goes to our External Reviewers — Thierry Joseph Vilain (Dassault Aviation) and Trevor M. Young (University of Limerick) — whose expert insights greatly contributed to the review process. We were also pleased to welcome Costin-Ciprian Miglan, Clean Aviation Project Officer, whose participation added important perspective and guidance.

Project partners had the opportunity to present their work to date, address key technical and organizational challenges, and collaboratively plan the next phases of the HERFUSE project.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all participants for their engagement, thoughtful contributions, and collaborative spirit throughout the event.

Together, we’re driving innovation forward
