The paramount objectives of WP6 are (1) promoting the newly established SINERGY Regional Centre of Excellence in smart energy management; (2) raising awareness about the SINERGY key exploitable results; (3) outreach and engagement with different types of stakeholders including the wider public.

In the first reporting period by month six, two reports were prepared, as follows:

SINERGY Web Portal and Communication Material

This document presents the status of development of the SINERGY Website at six months after the start of the project and serves as a quick reference guide to functionalities currently available at the following link https://project-sinergy.org. Currently, the web site has been divided into two main Sections:

This document outlines the envisioned Dissemination, Communication and Exploitation strategy of the SINERGY project, as well as the specific objectives of dissemination activities until the end of the project. Furthermore, it reports on continuing dissemination activities of the SINERGY project in the first six months. It is a first deliverable of WP6 which is conceived as the marketing work-package of the project, but it also aims at sustaining project activities after the end of the project.

The SINERGY work package 5 focuses on the organisation of joint project events that enable know-how exchange and provide with a “hands-on” experience in the domain of smart energy management. Deliverable 5.4 reports about the SINERGY International Conference on Smart and Innovative eNERGY management that was organised at the Institute Mihajlo Pupin premises from 26th to 28th of September 2023. The event gathered over 40 experts from the field, while one third of them were from abroad and two third from Serbia and the Region.

In the SINERGY WP5 framework, three workshops as a combination of training courses and lectures, hands-on experience, social and networking activities are foreseen. The goal is to increase the competence level of PhD students and other interested stakeholders in the domain of the SINERGY project.

This document follows the work outlined in the task T4.3 entitled Engagement of (Institute Mihajlo Pupin) IMP’s early-stage researchers. As envisioned in the SINERGY description of work, besides IMP staff, young researchers from partner institutions (AIT - Austrian Institute of Technology and NUIG - National University of Ireland, Galway) have been involved in all SINERGY activities (e.g.

Report on Early Stage Researcher Engagement and Mentoring

This document provides a brief overview of collaborative efforts on various projects, work packages, tasks and individual services between Institute Mihajlo Pupin (IMP), Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) and National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG). The collaborative actions are given as descriptions of the background motivation as well as the joint work that was conducted between the mentioned institutions.

The work package 4 is specifically dedicated to ensuring the involvement of IMP’s early-stage researchers in terms of providing adequate support by strategic partners as part of their training and (co-)mentoring activities. Hence, different staff exchange activities were conducted in the project framework. While in the first reporting period, this WP was affected by the COVID measures, in the years 2022 and 2023 the staff exchange activities continued as planned in the GA.

Report on Mutual Exchange of Personnel and Training Activities 

The aim of work package 4 is to coordinate the Sinergy activities on staff exchange and training. Though the first half of the project was heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic the project team managed to fulfill the training plan using webinar technologies. The deliverable reports the performed activities and exchanges for the project duration January 2021 to March 2022 which includes:
