Support to R&I Strategic Planning and Implementation with Regard to Smart Energy Systems, Ensuring Feedback from R&I Projects and Communities to Policy-making Processes

closed

The action is directly aimed at supporting the development and implementation of sound evidence base for R&I policies in the field of smart energy systems, encompassing all energy vectors and including storage. Energy system integration, digitalisation and power grid flexibility are important themes. The action will support the coordination of stakeholder views on R&I strategy by using existing structures (including the BRIDGE initiative and the ETIP Smart Networks for the Energy Transition) and possible new initiatives (if applicable), and by building on the strategic energy technology plan approach and developments. It will also mobilise inputs and feedback coming from the R&I communities and EU-funded projects and provide advice and feedback to EU policy-making processes supporting the rollout of policy instruments.
