Horizon Europe is the European Union (EU) funding programme for the period 2021 – 2027, which targets the sectors of research and innovation. The programme’s budget is around € 95.5 billion, of which € 5.4 billion is from NextGenerationEU to stimulate recovery and strengthen the EU’s resilience in the future, and € 4.5 billion is additional aid.
Facilitate the coordination and alignment of projects and support interaction between the various related initiatives happening at European and National level.
Increased interoperability of energy services, data and platforms, both at the function and business layers of the Smart Grid Architecture Model.
Develop an Interoperability Maturity Model (IMM) to indicate the level of maturity in organisations, and the further effort/ actions need to be made to reach higher levels of interoperability.
Create a network of interested parties, and eventually, setting up a distributed European ecosystem of centres for the Interoperability testing of data driven energy solutions. This should take into account existing initiatives like living labs, digital innovation hubs, JRCs Interoperability testing lab related ERA-Net program calls and Clean Energy Transition Partnership, and should aim at supporting a European knowledge base of use cases, interoperability profiles test cases, and results of tests.
Establishing a cross-fertilisation of existing regional testing infrastructures, explore best practice of local sand-boxing and link with existing networks. Demonstrate with the testing of a set of real life cases where new interoperability requirements are to be tested, how the activities would be organised.
The networks should agree on a common testing methodology and a common test reporting methodology to be used.
The selected projects are expected to contribute to relevant BRIDGE activities.
