UNIZG-FER has developed valuable international cooperation with many research institutions around the world, either directly or through inter-university cooperation. Currently, UNIZG-FER participates in 160 projects, both EU and national, financed by various grant schemes, including 15 HORIZON 2020 projects, 7 bilateral projects, 11 COST Actions, 3 Interreg projects, 2 NATO Science for Peace projects, 28 European Regional Development Fund projects, 4 European Social Fund projects and 79 Croatian Science Foundation projects.

Expertise of the core project team from UNIZG-FER is twofold. First expertise is on market and technical integration of distributed sources of flexibility, including pricing schemes, which is essential for the first use case in the Croatian pilot. The second expertise is in power system protection schemes, along with data acquisition and fault detection algorithms, which is relevant to the second use case of the Croatian pilot.
