SMAGRINET

The SMAGRINET project created 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 created the POWERFUL SERVICES that aimed 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 included 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.
