ERA-Net Smart Energy Systems & EnerDigit

Nordic Energy Research coordinates the Nordic approaches within specific ERA-Net activities and provides additional funding to Nordic consortium partners in specific calls.

Nordic Energy Research has been active within ERA-Net Smart Energy Systems since its inception in 2015, funding research on smart energy systems, energy storage and digitalisation. By participating in the ERA-Net Smart Energy Systems, Nordic Energy Research creates better opportunities for Nordic and Baltic partners to submit joint project applications addressing common challenges and opportunities within the Nordic-Baltic region.

ERA-Net consists of 32 funding partners from 29 different countries and regions. By joining the ERA-Net Smart Energy Systems, Nordic Energy Research offers Nordic researchers the opportunity to participate in an international research and knowledge community. The ERA-Net Smart Energy Systems published a joint call

MICall2020 in 2020, in collaboration with Mission Innovation, a global initiative working to accelerate clean energy innovation. The call marks the beginning of the Joint Programming Platform, which is an initiative focusing on digitalisation of the energy system called EnerDigit. The aim of EnerDigit is to support transnational research and innovation, ensure the digitalisation of energy systems, and promote the green transition to a sustainable society.

Digitalisation and green transition Nordic Energy Research’s participation in the joint call MICall2020 as a funding partner will increase Nordic and Baltic project partners’ opportunities to co-develop digital solutions facilitating the green energy transition. The Nordic vision is to become the most integrated region in the world by 2030, and digitalisation is the key to achieving this goal. The Nordic and Baltic countries are among the most digitally integrated in the world, and increased co-operation within this area has a potential to contribute to a green, competitive, and socially sustainable region.
