"<< Objectives >>SmartEAST aims at improving knowledge and understanding in the concept of ""Smart homes"", a building block of the future smart grid that is further expected to play a significant role in the energy transition to greener communities. To realize such structures, advanced energy and digital solutions are embedded into the electrical installation of houses, hence, a reskilling or upskilling of the electricians employed in this sector is required. This task highlights the scope of this project.<< Implementation >>To achieve the objectives of SmartEAST, shaped training activities will be organized and offered to licensed electricians over Europe, with particular emphasis to southeastern Europe. Training activities will focus on renewable energy sources, electric vehicles chargers and automation solutions in residential buildings, thus, realizing the smart home scenario. In addition, dissemination activities such as the SmartEAST handbook and workshop will also take place.<< Results >>Aligned with the above referenced priorities, the results of SmartEAST aim at an increased pace of energy and digital transition around Europe, through Improved availability of labor workers and therefore reduced cost. Moreover, the prospects for employment of licensed electricians will be improved. Finally, this first collaboration between HMU and HITU is expected to result in a long standing collaboration, especially supporting the regional collaboration in the Mediterranean region."
