UNIZAG FSB Official opening of POWERLAB – the Smart Energy Systems Laboratory

The INITIATE HORIZON EUROPE PROJECT consortium congratulates our partners at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture on the official opening of POWERLAB – the Smart Energy Systems Laboratory, on 5 October 2026.

The opening marks an important milestone in strengthening the Faculty’s research and educational capacities for the energy transition. Combining scientific research, experimental work and digital modelling, POWERLAB addresses challenges ranging from renewable energy integration and energy storage to the decarbonisation of interconnected energy systems.

For INITIATE, this milestone reflects the value of investing in research capacity and creating opportunities for collaboration between academia and industry. Bringing researchers, students and industry partners together is essential to translating scientific knowledge into practical solutions for a more sustainable energy future.
