Ongoing project
SMAGRINET is a CSA project which aims at developing a generation of researchers and engineers who are equipped to develop, improve and deploy new energy technologies in order to meet the challenges of the energy transition.
The SMAGRINET project is creating a smart grid competence hub, called POWER ON, in the area of smart and flexible energy systems aiming to enhance the capacity of the European universities in energy research and innovation and to engage with industry and key societal actors to respond to the challenges of the energy transition.
Additionally, the project is creating the POWERFUL SERVICES that aim to empower smart grid implementation by improving the skills of the current industries’ workforce and by capacitating academic organisations with the courses needed for smart grid implementation. These services are dedicated modules at universities, individual online courses for worforce, general public and researchers, train-the-trainers workshops and an internship program for students involving industries.
