StandICT.eu Alumni is a voluntary and expert-driven community supporting continuity, collaboration and European investment in international ICT standardisation.
StandICT.eu continues to support EU professionals in their contributions to international standardisation organisations (SDOs) through direct funds through the Fellowship Programme. The established and ever-growing community of European ICT standardisation experts’ role is crucial to StandICT.eu, which leverages the network of funded experts to establish a fellows’ alumni network. The aim is to value the established ecosystem of European standardisation experts and make them benefit from StandICT.eu new activities, including Open Calls, stakeholder events, a mentorship programme, technical working groups, and other valuable information on global ICT standardisation.
