Details of the initiative
A need has been identified from the Global Smart Grids Innovation Hub (GSGIH) to have specific talent available to achieve the energy transformation. The future of the electricity grids lies in their transformation towards a green digital transition with the help of emerging technologies. In response to this need and thanks to the Gaia cluster, the Smart Grids Academy has been created to train specialized professionals to meet the growing demand for talent in this field.
A training methodology will be developed and validated combining:
- Face-to-face training in the GSGIH, by means of master classes and collaborative projects.
- Online training by means of a comprehensive technological platform to help with the recruiting, training, motivating and awareness-raising in the field of smart electricity grids.
