A flexible and smart energy system and electricity grid in a city

Are you interested in what EU funding possibilities are availabe in the field of smart energy systems and smart cities related to the EU Green Deal package?

If so, this event the 14th of September will give you insight in what EU funding possibilities that are available and giving you and your organisation the opportunity to network with other organisations with the same interest.

This workshop is directed towards organisations from triple helix (public, private, academia) that are interested in the fields of urban smart energy systems and smart electricity grids. In the long run the workshop aims to put relevant stakeholders in contact with each other to create new networks and possible future project consortiums.

During the first part of the workshop EU Funding possibilities in the field of flexible energy systems will be presented, and researchers will give academic presentations connected to the theme. Further, challenge owners will present their challenge and possible project ideas to the audience, followed by networking activities to start project development processes.
