The Horizon 2020 PANTERA project consortium is delighted to announce the launch of the EIRIE
platform, an interactive multi-functional platform that stands for European Interconnection for
Research Innovation & Entrepreneurship.
The key objective of the
EIRIE platform is to connect
and bring together the
European Union's Research
& Innovation community in one place,
to enable collaboration, increase
wider interest and give access to
all the resources needed to play
an active role within the European
research community.
The EIRIE platform aims at
strengthening the participation of all
Member States in support of the fifth
pillar of the Energy Union (Research,
Innovation and Competitiveness)
and energy transition mentioned in
"A Framework Strategy for a Resilient
Energy Union with a Forward-Looking
Climate Change Policy". Workshops,
at pan-European as well as regional
level have been organised, interviews
and research have been conducted to
ensure the platform would effectively
answer to the needs of the Research
& Innovation community in the energy
sector in Europe.
Through the EIRIE platform, we are
bridging the gaps that currently exist
in the energy field in Europe between
Member States, by bringing together
data, information, knowledge and
the lessons learned from successful
partnerships being national, regional
or European. The platform users will
get an easy access to information
on potential funding and consortium
building, projects data collection
(results and outcomes, best
practices, reports and deliverables,
etc.), references to standards and
regulations, all of these searchable via
an easy-to-use search tool.
Alignment and collaborative work are
key for creating the pan-European
modus operandi envisioned in the
design and operation of EIRIE. It is
with the feedback and continuous
support of relevant stakeholders
and their active participation, along
with national, international and EU
platforms and initiatives, H2020,
Horizon Europe, national and
international projects that the EIRIE
platform aims to become a reference
access point.
Furthermore, to ensure the success
and sustainability of the platform,
we are working closely with JRC
(EC Joint Research Centre), under
the guidance of DG Energy of the
European Commission, to develop
EIRIE as a linked extension of their
Smart Energy Systems platform.
The platform will also be serving
the needs of ETIP SNET (ETIP Smart
Networks for Energy Transition) and
be in close collaboration with wellknown
platforms in Europe such as
the ERA-Net SES (ERA-Net Smart
Energy Systems), DERlab and Mission
Innovation.
