Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)
The work supports the better integration and alignment of two key European ambitions under the Green Deal: becoming climate-neutral and advancing digital transformation. Our local and regional governments (LRG) are at the heart of this transformation. LRGs are responsible for organizing the topic of smart cities in spin-offs, and LRGs are the places that use our society.Also, our goal is to build and consolidate synergies with existing European initiatives, programs, and platforms focused on advancing climate-neutral and smart cities.Such as , engagement with ClimateView that is a Stockholm-based climate tech SME founded in 2018. The company provides ClimateOS, a software platform that supports municipal governments in planning, modeling, monitoring, and financing climate-neutral and smart city transitions.
Impact on society (7th Open Call)
The work supported the societal impact of standardisation by helping to anchor the twin transitions, digital and climate, in the real needs of cities and communities, where societal change is most visible and immediate. Cities are the spaces where challenges are experienced firsthand and where solutions must be effectively implemented. By strengthening their involvement in the standardisation process, we ensure that the resulting standards are not only technically sound but also socially relevant and fit for purpose. Local knowledge is essential for identifying practical needs and streamlining resources, enabling standards that deliver real value and promote efficiency. This approach also strengthens Europe’s global leadership by aligning strategic innovation with on-the-ground implementation.

The continued and active participation of representatives from associations, cities, and communities underscored the strong interest in and perceived relevance of this work to address pressing challenges. Beyond the core topics of digitalisation and climate change, we also addressed issues such as procurement, nature-based solutions, and the nature-positive economy. A representative from the Tiliria Region (Cyprus) highlighted the importance of recognising and integrating historical knowledge as a distinct asset for addressing energy and water shortages and building more resilient societies. Inspired by these debates, the Cypriot Mirror Committee will launch a new standardisation project to develop a standardised Climate City Contract for Cyprus, which will serve cities and communities in creating broad coalitions and help address climate change more systematically.

Open Call Topics
Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)
Generally speaking, the direct participation of SME in the standardisation process has two aims; firstly, to influence and make standards created for or by large companies even usable by small companies. And secondly, to lead SMEs to understand and use standards to better compete in the marketplace. Participating in this WS falls under both cases. The most positive impact would be to find a way to make the knowledge gained available to SMEs in order to spread the knowledge of these frameworks for the industrial use of AI.
Impact on society (7th Open Call)
The CWA is focused on the optimisation of resources and energy that AI seems to promise. All the models used by the frameworks involve circular processes where AI agents progressively learn from the data transmitted by sensors and process issues , while there is always human verification at one stage of the process, this allows for a progressive accumulation of data and continuous optimisation that promises both to be able to respond in real time to situations of sudden variations and to optimise the use of resources, particularly of energy.

Description of Activities


CEN/TC 442 is leading the publication of standards on digital construction, also referred as “building information modelling” BIM.

Fellow's country
Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
The EU stakeholders will benefit from using a consistent application in projects to avoid waste of efforts. It will be a reference for EU manufactures in their product libraries to reach the right specification level of their products. EU SMEs will reduce time in creating their own specification as they can use something already available in the industry. In this way, they will be able to work across different countries, projects, and clients.
EU Private and public clients will more easily be able to define what information they require in a repeatable way. The EU supply chain will be facilitated in producing better quality information thanks to software applications that allow automated information delivery, including checking and validation of information delivered. With the vendor-neutral, interoperable data exchange standard, software developers are provided with equal access to the market, reducing vendor lock in and enabling fair competition.

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
The project contribution in terms of the CWA under development will support SMEs that want to or are required legally to have a DPP for their products, which is a majority of SMEs in Europe. Close to 30 product categories are expected to be mandated to have a DPP in the mid-term future. To ensure the CWA effort is impactful for SMEs consideration is made of CEN-CENELEC GUIDE 17: Guidance for writing standards taking into account SME needs (2010). The impact on these SMEs is expected in terms of accelerating their journey to develop and set up their Digital Product Passport. By providing a concise guidance document that has been developed as a CWA pre-standard for understanding the scope, context, potentials and design and implementation decisions for Digital product passports.
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
The CWA will also benefit European society by supporting economic actors to understand how DPPs can support their activities by enabling new information generation mechanisms and sharing for a circular economy.

This ISO features on my work at ISO/TC 307 and AG1 and explains the societal impacts of trust across finance, supply chains, digital trust, data provenance, Energy trading, records management, Anti-counterfeit pharma and food safety and provenance.
Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
There are a confusing range of possibilities that SME's are unlikely to be equipped to assess without a set of dependant standards to guide them. The criteria for such decisions needs examination, the approach and comparative measurement needs standards to be effective. This project links the SMEs operating in the business arena and the standards development to support their operations. Sustainability standards often have conflicting objectives, so a specific plan to develop appropriate standards to the benefit of the EU does affect the global community.

Description of Activities

Having MEP equipment modelled and standardised could make this process economic and a disruptive market technology. The final objective is to develop an initial ontology oriented to simulation in buildings.

Fellow's country
Impact on SMEs (2nd Open Call)
Simulation is at the top of functionalities in buildings or smart cities. It is an AI model-based approach, compatible with the European values and the AI Act, recently approved at the European Parliament. Standards for simulation will allow the use of these techniques, providing an increased knowledge and future AI implementations of governance. It will open new markets and services.
Impact on society (2nd Open Call)
Mathematical simulation can be a revolutionary tool for the renovation wave and new buildings design, but it needs a supporting standard for the components, which must be well defined, certified, and validated. We propose to represent this standard by using ontologies or semantic web technologies.

This standard will permit the development of HVAC product catalogues that are not dedicated to a single manufacturer, but may include products from both large manufacturers and SMEs. Without such a standard, each manufacturer must develop its own, proprietary, product catalogue, which represents a cost that an SME manufacturer cannot afford.

Fellow's country
Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
Especially SMEs lack sufficient funds to develop the internal capabilities to transition to circular business models. Bringing the ISO 59000 family of standards in line with European policies and regulations makes it not just easier to fulfil legal requirements but to also go beyond short-term requirements and gain a competitive advantage by transitioning to circular business models.
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
Transitioning to a circular economy has profound societal impacts by promoting sustainability, resource efficiency, and economic resilience. It fosters a reduction in waste and pollution, which enhances environmental quality and public health. By encouraging businesses to design for longevity, repairability, and recyclability, it creates new job opportunities and stimulates innovation across industries. Additionally, it empowers communities to engage in sustainable practices and reduces dependency on finite resources. Overall, a circular economy nurtures a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient society, aligning economic activities with long-term environmental and social well-being.
