ENERMAPS CHALLENGE
Objective 1
Centralise energy datasets on one user-friendly gateway – the EnerMaps open data management tool – to connect the energy research community with energy professionals.
Objective 2
Improve the accessibility of scientific datasets such as the thermal and electric energy datasets, in order to maximise incentives for researchers to share their data with decision makers.
Objective 3
Ensure the quality of the datasets centralised on the gateway.
Objective 4
Increase the energy data knowledge of target groups – energy planners, policy makers, public administrations, data providers, and the energy research community – through training activities (using action-learning techniques) to accelerate and facilitate the energy transition.
EU project, from April 2020 to April 2022
EnerMaps project will reach these objectives through five steps:
a) Identifying crucial energy datasets through collaborative research (supported by the Consortium’s internal and external experts and target group representatives),
b) Comparing and quality checking the datasets,
c) Enriching, visualising, and bringing new analytical tools to these datasets,
d) Compiling different datasets in one place – the EnerMaps Data Management Tool,
e) Leading a capacity building program on data management directly targeting lead users and indirectly targeting end users.

Project management
The goal of this WP is to ensure overall management of the project, in terms of documentation, reporting and financial aspects. In particular, it covers the organization of regular or on-demand (physical or cyber-) meetings of consortium partners, progress monitoring, and regular contact with the European Commission for reporting, deliverables submission and payments.Work package leader:

WORK PACKAGE 3
Datasets enrichment, knowledge creation, and visualization
The objective of this WP is to enrich and improve the external scientific datasets, which have been selected in WP1 and introduced into the EnerMaps database in WP2 as well as improve their visibility and to contextualize the different datasets collected so that the user is able to reuse and understand each dataset. This will be accomplished partly by giving the users the possibility to process a part of the data in open source by calculation modules.Work package leader:

WORK PACKAGE 5
Training and Capacity Building
The aim of this WP is to diffuse the knowledge on the existence of open source energy related data and its potential use for analyses. This WP will stimulate a guided and integrated discussion process on the potential use and exploitation of existing open datasets for creating innovation in different target groups and civil society, and to further inform the development of a common, and shared knowledge base through the use of action-learning techniques.Work package leader:

WORK PACKAGE 6
Communication and Dissemination
This WP aims to effectively communicate the message and the use of EnerMaps to target groups, while also ensuring the useful dissemination of its results.The objectives are:
1. Provide online and offline communication tools - 2. Disseminate the project results and findings to support partners - 3. Organise target group workshops and the final event - 4. Ensure proper communications between target groups
