Project description
Bridging the gap between H2020 participants and widening countries
The end of Horizon2020 has resulted in heightened innovation and research within the EU, alongside more ambitious objectives. However, it has also exacerbated the disparity between participating nations and those falling behind. This growing gap may lead to increased economic inequality, hindered innovation, and disparate growth rates across the EU. The EU-funded SynGRID project seeks to address this by facilitating the rapid attainment of desired institutional and regional innovation objectives for less-developed countries through ongoing Horizon 2020 projects and their outcomes. Consequently, the project will prioritise green energy solutions to enhance collaboration, establish the groundwork for more substantial proposals, craft a comprehensive strategy to pinpoint areas requiring intervention, and engage with stakeholders and influential figures.
Objective
SynGRID project aims to enhance institutional and regional innovation in Widening countries through the capitalisation of outcomes from completed Horizon 2020 and ongoing Horizon Europe projects. The combination of valorisation of research results with the focus on enhancing the management, observability and controllability of low-voltage grids considering the increased integration of Renewable Energy Sources, will be combined with the transparent sharing of the know-how to foster stronger collaborations between renowned research and innovation institutions and HE beneficiaries in Croatia, Greece and Slovenia. The outcome of the international collaboration will be materialised in a joint ERDF, HE and LIFE project proposals that will aim to bridge the gap between European and regional funding mechanisms.
To unlock the full potential of R&I actors, the SynGRID project will employ a multi-faceted capacity-building strategy supported by a comprehensive analysis, encompassing a review of validated research outcomes from Horizon projects and an assessment of the current technology landscape in Croatia, Greece, and Slovenia to identify areas requiring intervention. SynGRID will engage key stakeholders including DSOs, regional authorities, SMEs in the energy sector, and research institutions.
The backbone of knowledge sharing is structured around key projects like H2020 – COMPILE and X-FLEX, as well as HE – STREAM and OPENTUNITY, where partners served as coordinators or technical coordinators offering advanced insights into the topic of optimised grid reinforcement and advanced controllability to enable large share of RES in the existing, congested DSO grid together with algorithms for fair sharing of limited capacity.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
