Project description
First training network to boost innovation in smart distribution networks
Advances in electric power distribution are increasing the need for innovative solutions and skilled professionals. All this sets the stage for FITNESS, a project funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme. FITNESS is a groundbreaking doctoral network at the intersection of electric power distribution network optimisation, electricity markets, communications and control systems. FITNESS aims to develop new methodologies for active distribution network services for smart grids. It will bring together four beneficiaries and six associated partners from seven EU countries. The goal is to cultivate a new generation of scientific professionals who will be able to transition between disciplines and public and private sectors. This will be achieved through recruited researcher projects, hands-on courses and workshops and robust mobility and knowledge transfer programmes.
Objective
FITNESS is a Doctoral Network at the intersection of electric power distribution networks optimization, electricity markets, communications, and control systems. The project will develop new methodologies for active distribution networks services in the era of smart grids. FITNESS is the first training network dedicated to this challenge and involves 4 Beneficiaries and 6 Associated Partners from 7 EU countries, guaranteeing a pan-European approach in a multi-sectoral context (universities, research centres, and SMEs).
FITNESS will train a new generation of scientific professionals who can transition between disciplines and between the public and private sectors based on (i) Recruited Researcher (RR) projects; (ii) courses and workshops, with the emphasis on hands-on, collaborative learning and attention to transferable skills; (iii) mobility, knowledge transfer, all within a training network that includes some of Europe’s finest researchers.
