Role and Key Contribution to the Project

TNO is leading work package 6 (WP6) on governance, sustainability, and representativeness. With a dynamic EU federated scenario platform that is continuously updated from different data sources, WP6 focuses on the implementation and demonstration of metrics for scenario representativeness and scenario database and platform completeness. The WP provides quality checks of the scenarios that are added to the scenario platform. Moreover, a governance structure is established for individual scenario databases contributing to the SYNERGIES scenario platform. This includes a process for onboarding new scenario database initiatives that intend to start the addition of scenarios to the platform.
