Welcome to the website of this development project!

With the objectives of the Green Deal in mind, the COSMIC project (Combined AI and Data Solutions for Large Scale Resource Optimization with Green Deal Impact) aims to provide IT systems that address large-scale energy resource optimization challenges by leveraging AI and data solutions.

Goals

The project will foster collaboration between small and large scale companies to create industrial ecosystems, focused on key applications with the potential for substantial and escalable impact.

The ecosystems are composed by

1. large-scale industries facilitating big datasets and large scale pilots
2. core technical partners providing transversal-to-sector technical solutions,
3. SMEs and start-ups bringing specific data/AI based assets through open calls.

The project will offer a set of data/AI based platforms, solutions and modules as transversal core infrastructures able to accommodate external IT assets. Third parties, mainly SMEs and start-ups, will bring these assets in the form of data/AI based services and solutions, that are specific-to an energy resources optimization key applications.

The integration of these core and application-oriented technologies will result in a set of Integrated AI systems (IAIS) for Key Energy Resource Optimization Applications capable to scale-up to cover more key applications.

COSMIC will test these systems in 14 large-scale pilots in 5 countries: Spain, Belgium, Portugal, France and Finland, and at European level, together with the validation of end-user and final beneficiaries' acceptance of social-science methods.

To foster replicability, a package will be offered including the lessons learned and recommendations for future adaptation, including suggestions for feasible win-win industrial partnerships, and guidance on ecosystems sustainability.

Implementation

These ambitious objectives will be realized by a consortium of experienced and highly complementary partners from both research institutions, industrial partners, public authorities and NGOs from eight European countries.

This three-year-long project is funded by the European Union and it lasts from the beginning of 2025 until January 2028. In this project, the City of Lappeenranta collaborates with Lappeenrannan Energiaverkot Oy.
