The iGrid project deals with the design and implementation of a
solarpowered smart microgrid to supply electric power to small rural
communities. In this paper, we discuss the roadmap of the iGrid project,
which forms by merging the roadmaps of KIC (knowledge and Innovation
Community) and CDE (ChallengeDriven Education). We introduce and explain
a five-gear chain as Challenge, Education, Research, Innovation, and
Deployment, called CERID, to reach the main goals of this project. We
investigate the full chain in the iGrid project, which is established
between KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden) and University of Dar
es Salam (Tanzania). We introduce the key stakeholders and explain how
CERID goals can be accomplished in higher educations and through
scientific research. Challenges are discussed, some innovative ideas are
introduced and deployment solutions are recommended.
