Within the int:net project, they want to link all different stakeholders in the energy sector and bring interoperability to a new level. The int:net consortium has therefore established the int:net community as an environment to enable exchange and joint work on interoperability and all topics connected e.g., standardisation and testing. Among other activities, int:net has initiated the platform where e.g., discussions about aspects relevant for interoperability can be held together.

Activities in the community are organized in “Interoperability Focus Groups (IFGs)” and taskforces. The actual set of working groups is:

• IFG-1: "Interoperability Profiles in Data Spaces"
• IFG-2: "Increasing Maturity in Interoperability"
• IFG-3: "The Interoperability Regulatory Landscape"
• IFG-4: "Interoperability Testing Approaches, Test Cases, and Test Facilities"
• IFG-5: "Smart Grid related Use Cases and SGAM"

Each IFG is guided by a moderator. The moderator ought to lead the discussion, initiate new topics and animate other participants to contribute content. Every member of an Interoperability Focus Group is encouraged to deliver input and ideate new topics.

If you are interested and/or working in the field of interoperability, data spaces or standardisation then why not join the int:net community platform? The platform is open for everyone and people coming from different backgrounds and institutions, including academia, legislation, regulation and ICT provision. They strive to include diverse viewpoints from all stakeholders involved in leveraging interoperability.
