Secretariat of the technology platform for the electricity networks of the future SmartGrids-ETPS

Objective

At the end of 2005, the main stakeholders in the area of Smart Electricity Networs (SmartGrids), including the European Commission, established the European Technology Platform (ETP) of the Electricity Networks of the Future SmartGrdis. As a result of a call for proposals to support the establishment and running of European Technology Platforms (call FP6-2005-ENERGY4) the European Commission provided financial support to the Platform secretariat for contract duration of 30 months awarded to ZABALA (ZABALA) (coordinator of the previous and present secretariat). In June 2006 the first formal tasks started with a secretariat that provided managerial, administrative and communication support to the SmartGrids ETP. Presently, the objective of this proposal is to provide continuity to the work of the secretariat, with better matching to the ETP needs and challenges ahead, in terms of efficient, impartial and transparent management of platform activities, projects and communication strategy and so contribute to achieving the statutory platform objectives and ensure their highest quality. The four main activity lines of the secretariat are: • Support to the main bodies that are part of the internal structure of the SmartGrids ETP: SmartGrids Forum and Mirror Group with the organisation and management of periodic meetings. And internal communication exchange. • Generation of high quality results supporting in the definition, management and development of public results. • Support in the implementation of a communication strategy based around an information centre (public internet site), yearly conferences, newsletters, participation in other conferences and direct cooperation with the European Commission. • Implementing monitoring activities and quality control reviews of platform activities and results. The consortium for this project comprises three complementary partners uniting all necessary skills to achieve the objective
