The DIGITISE project team convened for its 3rd Plenary Meeting in the scenic setting of the Lisbon shoreline, marking an important milestone in the project’s development. Hosted by Unparallel Innovation, the meeting brought together partners from across Europe to assess progress during the 1st of the project, align on technical goals, and chart a clear path forward for the next phase of the initiative.
With a strong focus on digitalisation and decarbonisation in energy systems, DIGITISE is a Horizon Europe-funded project that aims to design and implement cross-sector digital solutions to support the green and digital transition. The plenary meeting served as a crucial opportunity to take stock of achievements to date and refine the project’s future direction.
The agenda opened with a series of technical sessions, where the team addressed key areas such as requirements analysis, architecture definition, and system verification. Discussions centred on how to develop a reference DIGITISE architecture that is both flexible and adaptable to multiple use cases. The partners also examined the potential of cross-sector services and applications to deliver real-world benefits to end users.
As the meeting progressed, attention turned to the practical aspects of implementing the project’s demonstration activities. Site-specific mapping of energy and data assets was reviewed, along with an assessment of equipment gaps and procurement plans. These discussions provided essential insights into the practicalities of deploying DIGITISE technologies on the ground, while ensuring alignment with the project’s technical goals.
The final morning of the meeting was dedicated to dissemination, stakeholder engagement, and exploitation planning. Partners reflected on early communication and outreach efforts, and began shaping strategies for leveraging the project’s results. These activities are designed to ensure that DIGITISE has an impact not only during the project’s runtime but also in the long term, supporting broader adoption and innovation in the energy sector.
By bringing together the full consortium, the Lisbon meeting reinforced the collaborative foundation of the DIGITISE project. It provided space for reflection, technical alignment, and renewed commitment to the project’s objectives.
As DIGITISE continues to evolve, the outcomes of this plenary meeting will play a key role in guiding its technical implementation and stakeholder engagement activities in the months ahead.
