INESC-ID made a strong impact at the 2024 edition of Enlit Europe, one of the leading energy conferences and exhibitions in Europe, proudly showcasing the Horizon Europe projects EV4EU, Shift2DC, and U2Demo.

This year’s event, held from October 22 to 24 in Milan, set a new record by bringing together 15,000 energy experts from across the sector, and more than 200 sessions and 500 speakers over three days. Visitors had the opportunity to connect with the projects’ coordination team at the INESC-ID exhibition stand in the EU Projects Zone and during various sessions featuring the projects’ researchers.

Ana Rita Nunes, project manager at INESC-ID, Pedro Costa, project researcher, and Hugo Morais, senior researcher from Sustainable Power Systems and project coordinator at INESC-ID, along with colleagues from different partner institutions, shared insights and the milestones already achieved by the three ongoing projects:

  • EV4EU – development of user-centric V2X management strategies for houses, buildings, parking lots, and EV fleets, that will allow the massive growth of electric vehicles.
  • Shift2DC – a new approach on the way direct current (DC) solutions are used in power systems by creating smarter, more efficient, and eco-friendly energy systems, including ongoing research on Madeira Island and the creation of a DC Digital Port on the island.
  • U2Demo – development of innovative energy management strategies and technological solutions to promote equitable and democratic access to sustainable energy resources, empowering consumers to manage their energy use more effectively, save money, and take control of their energy data.
