The release of the Standardisation strategy issued in February 2022, and the creation of the High-Level Forum on European Standardisation have put a major priority on activities and achievements in Standardisation on a European level.
On 18th January 2023, StandICT.eu 2023 in collaboration with the European Commission, organised a stimulating , three hour Workshop on “Future Standardisation Education” covering the principal results and impacts that StandICT.eu 2023 and other invited projects EU funded projects, such as HSbooster.eu and Stand4EU, have achieved. Moreover, compelling insights from CEN and CENELEC, the STAIR initiative and ETSI activities on standardisation and education were highlighted.
The event has demonstrated the synergies and collaborations with the PPPs and other associations, the success stories of StandICT.eu funded fellows, and the impact from some applications within a societal, economic and technological context. The event generated a rich discussion on the current standardisation challenges in Europe, considering both ICT and non-ICT sectors, and the following report provides a set of recommendations and reflections that the participants at the event and authors of this report believe could be considered to boost the importance of standardisation at a European level.
The ultimate goal of the workshop was to help engage more interest and direct engagement from Europeans in the standardisation process from academia, research and industry and hope to have achieved this with this workshop.
