To realise this ambitious objective, we believe collaborating with other initiatives and projects that are moving towards the same objectives, is essential. We are delighted to announce the start of a fruitful and successful collaboration with H2020 ASSET project, a holistic and scalable solution for research, innovation, and education in energy transition (see video). 

The project aims to create a community and to provide the tools to create and share the knowledge and skills needed to efficiently tackle the energy transition processes.

ASSET´s goal is twofold:

1) To create a sustainable and scalable ecosystem (community) including all energy transition and education stakeholders:

• Companies from the energy sector
• Universities and training actors
• Authorities and policy makers
• Society

2) To deliver the framework and means for the continuous collaborative definition of the knowledge-competencies-skills required for the energy transition and for continuous resource pooling to efficiently educate/train large numbers of people in diverse and interdisciplinary topics and carry out research and innovation activities.

Within the PANTERA project, we have been hard at work on developing an interactive multi-functional platform that will act as THE meeting point of all actors active in the field of energy research & Innovation from all Europe. 

We have been in close collaboration with the European Commission and important stakeholders such as JRC (EC Joint Research Centre), ETIP SNET (ETIP Smart Networks for Energy Transition) and ERA-Net SES (ERA-Net Smart Energy Systems) to make EIRIE a true success. 

Thanks to the establishment of our Regional Desks (more information), EIRIE will be active at both regional and EU level at the same time and will foster critical data, information and rich content that can be utilised by all actors of the smart grid R&I regime be it researchers, industrial parties, academia or SMEs.
