Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The FOREWORD of Special issue 1|2018 highlighted the aim of this Special Issue Series, which was—and still is—to support the growth of our research network in the EC framework.
According to this, our ambition is to publish the most promising research and innovation projects that EERA JPSC partners set up in the framework of H2020 Programme, to draw attention to the fact that EERA JPSC is one of the strongest voices in this research area in Europe capable of highlighting different points of view and solutions.
The Scientific Board for the Special Issue Series invites high achievers, professors, researchers, and scholars to contribute their original works in the form of applied research and case studies (national/international RD&I projects; real solutions at national level implemented/in operation or implementation stage or planning stage) as well as theoretical studies on the following topics:
- Smart energy communities supporting the low carbon energy transition
- Smart cities experiences
- Positive energy district dimension
