DESCRIPTION:Since April of 2014\, CRSGI\, funded by the United States State
  Department’s Bureau of Educational\nand Cultural Affairs through the Gl
 obal Innovation Institute (GII) has grown into a true global\norganization
  that promotes global research related to smart grids. The research framew
 ork includes\n1) research tool development\, 2) research scholar and stude
 nt mobility\, 3) engagement with\nstakeholders\, and 4) knowledge exchange
  related smart grids applications. The past symposiums and\nworkshops were
  held in United Sates\, Brazil\, UK\, and India\, sharing research tools\,
  survey tools\,\ntutorials related energy management practice\, etc. among
  member universities. Starting from the\n7th Symposium\, CRSGI members are
  ready to initiate smart grid pilot projects and moving into the\nnatural 
 extension of the smart grids\, the EV infrastructures. The symposium will 
 bring international\nacademic leaders\, industry pioneers\, and financial 
 experts together to initiate projects from\nuniversity based hubs.\n\nCo-s
