Specific objetives

The overall MEAN4SG research programme tackles the main research challenges in the smart grids metrology field identified by the European R&D community:

1. Power quality analysis
2. Smart grids modelling and management
3. Advanced monitoring through Phasor Measurement Units applications
4. Smart cable diagnosis.

These main goals have been divided into eleven specific objectives, which will be assigned to the fellows, for them to focus their R&D project, PhD Thesis and professional career.

The established training plan answers the challenges identified by the SET Plan Education Roadmap. Personal Development Career Plans will be tuned up for every fellow, being their accomplishment controlled by a Personal Supervisory Team.

The training plan includes intra-network activities, as well as network-wide initiatives. The secondments at partner organizations and between beneficiaries are a key attribute of the training programme. Each fellow will be exposed to three different research environments from both, academic and industrial spheres. All the network activities will be developed in accordance with the established in the Ethical Codes and Standards for research careers development, looking therefore for talent, excellence and opportunity equality.
