Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)
The work undertaken in this Fellowship intends to help clarifying for the EU SMEs and overall European Industry the direction they would have to take to ensure their autonomous systems are compliant with the guidelines developed in these IEEE and ISO/IEC/IEEE standardization efforts.The delivered and planned events/talks/tutorials intend to increase interactions and knowledge sharing of challenges and guidelines for the European SMEs and Industry to prepare Europe to be ready for the next-generation of trustworthy autonomous systems.
Indeed, providing a clear overview of the topic and of the ongoing standardization effort in the field of trustworthy autonomous systems aim to support European standardisation activities in order to set adequate guidelines for European SMEs to help the design and manufacturing of trustworthy autonomous systems which in turn are key enablers for both the economic growth and people well-being.

Impact on society (7th Open Call)
New technologies such as autonomous systems are aimed to both bring economic growth and increase people's well-being. However, trustworthiness is a key aspect for people to use these systems. To produce and deploy such trustworthy autonomous systems, industry and governmental bodies need standards and guidelines. At the moment, there are no IEEE standards directly focused on Trustworthy Autonomous Systems.
One of the main challenges is that the study of trustworthy autonomous systems is intrinsically multi-disciplinary, spanning across fields such as robotics, systems engineering, software engineering, artificial intelligence, as well as safety, transparency, and ethics. Currently, the related standardization efforts are occurring separately in the different scientific communities and they are not specific to trustworthy autonomous systems.
Therefore, this project aims to address this gap by bridging the different standardisation efforts and by paving the way towards a standard on trustworthy autonomous systems.
