The StandICT.eu Standards Training Academy will host a webinar diving into China's standardisation strategies in ICT on 30 Sept 2024 from 11:00 to 12:30 CEST (16:00 – 17:30 China Standard Time).

Introduction

In the last decades, China has become a well-established and strong actor in international standardisation, particularly in ICT.

The webinar intends to get an update China's ICT standardisation strategies and activities in general, followed by a closer look at its activities in ICT. Based on this background, we first discuss the opportunities and challenges China, and its actors face in international standardisation. Then, we focus on elaborating the implications for the EU before we try to identify opportunities for further collaboration and joining forces for reciprocal benefits and address global challenges.
