INSPIRE: 78th IIW Annual Assembly

We’re pleased to announce the presentation of the INSPIRE- Revolutionising Training in Welding Inspection for Hydrogen Pipelines – Modernising Welding Inspector Training for a Greener Europe project during the Pressure Vessels, Boilers and Pipelines Commission at the 78th IIW Annual Assembly.

As Europe accelerates its green hydrogen infrastructure, qualified inspectors will play a crucial role in ensuring safety and quality. INSPIRE, an Erasmus+ project, is modernising the European Welding Inspector (EWI) qualification to meet these emerging needs.

INSPIRE Project highlights:
🔹 Modular training pathways for flexible learning.
🔹 AR-based content for hands-on H₂ pipeline inspection.
🔹Pilots in Finland, Spain and Greece.
🔹Tools to help VET centres and industry adapt quickly to the hydrogen economy.
