The ERA-Net Smart Grids Plus "Non-Conference" - Matchmaking and Open Space (Energie Steiermark, Leonhardgürtel 10, 8010 Graz, Austria)

At the focus of the "Non-Conference Days" is the informal exchange of experience and ideas by experts and companies from the fields of smart grids and smart energy.

In order to facilitate the formation of the transnational consortia for the planned ERA-Net Joint Call at the end of the year, the second day of the Era-Net event provides the opportunity to proponents of smart grids projects from industry, infrastructure operators and research institutions from various European countries to exchange their expertise and experience. New players in the world of smart grids such as providers of new services are addressed in particular.

Bilateral meetings will be arranged in advance as "Matchmaking Sessions". Moreover there will be an Open Space for the exchange of opinions and ideas to design joint research tenders and any associated activities.
