Impact on society (4th Open Call)

Accelerating the use of digital twins, as the existence of the semantic repository allows the digital twin to manage semantics while the physical twin is managing data. This methodology will ensure a consistent continuum between the physical twin and the digital twin.

Impact on society (6th Open Call)

The following impacts are identified at a general level:
The Internet of Things (IoT) addresses many societal challenges including climate change, resource and energy efficiency and ageing.
In the emerging IoT economy, voluntary global standards can accelerate adoption, drive competition, and enable cost-effective introduction of new technologies.
Standardisation facilitates the interoperability, compatibility, reliability, security and efficiency of operations on a global scale among different technical solutions, stimulating industry innovation and providing greater clarity to technology evolution.
Interoperability between IoT networks operated by different companies along the value chain opens up opportunities to address EU Policy objectives, e.g. greater resource efficiency for a more circular economy, sustainable and responsible supply chains through transparency and traceability, and others

Impact on society (7th Open Call)

The number of connected devices is expected to exceed 20 billion by 2020. This market will be fostered by proper interoperability standards. Europe is strong in IoT innovation and has made significant technical contributions (AIOTI) including in some specific standardization contexts. AIOTI now has a recognized presence at the ISO level, and it is now key to concretize this presence so that European innovation is well represented.

The AI Trustworthiness Framework will serve as an entry point for industries and SMEs in order to facilitate this process, fostering conformity and facilitating industry competitiveness.

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)

The AI Trustworthiness Framework will serve as an entry point for industries and SMEs in order to facilitate this process, fostering conformity and facilitating industry competitiveness.

Impact on SMEs (5th Open Call)

Industries and SMEs in the EU are facilitated in adopting standards. One of the main barriers for standard adoption is the complexity of the standardisation processes. In order to claim conformity, multiple requirements coming from multiple standards should be met. The AI Trustworthiness Framework will serve as an entry point for industries and SMEs in order to facilitate this process, fostering conformity and facilitating industry competitiveness.

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)

The framework simplifies compliance by serving as a single reference point for multiple obligations under the AI Act. This helps SMEs adopt standards more easily, reducing barriers and supporting competitiveness through clearer, harmonized guidance.

Impact on society (3rd Open Call)

The AI Trustworthiness Framework will reinforce social trust in AI systems, by providing companies, consumers and ultimately citizens with a clear understanding of the fundamental requirements for trustworthy AI.

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

Impact on society (5th Open Call)

Trustworthiness fosters social acceptance. One of the outstanding barriers in the deployment of innovative technologies is social acceptance. This barrier damages both the economic benefits and the social benefits of designing innovative AI systems. The AI Trustworthiness Framework will reinforce social trust in AI systems, by providing companies, consumers and ultimately citizens with a clear understanding of the fundamental requirements for trustworthy AI.

Impact on society (6th Open Call)

By clarifying what makes AI trustworthy and aligning it with EU values, the project increases public trust and supports responsible innovation. It also helps make ethics a professional role, reinforcing societal oversight over AI technologies.

The involved standards are useful so that Europe is involved in this type of cybersecurity, which may affect future EU directives.

Impact on SMEs (8th Open Call)

The extended ITU-T X.510 | ISO/IEC 9594-11 is expected to be an important specification for cryptographic algorithm migration which is essential in the light of future developments of quantum computers. The cryptographic pluck-in capabilities are also important as they will
ease migration, and they will allow different areas of the world to have their own choice of cryptographic algorithms.Moreover, this standard provideslean protocols with a minimum of overhead providing cybersecurity to other protocols (security by simplifications). This in particular important for constrained devices, like IoT devices.

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

Every aspect of cybersecurity has a high priority. Access control needs to be timely in place to prevent unauthorised access.

Impact on society (6th Open Call)

This updated standard will allow users (relying parties) to access certificate information for the whole of Europe and be a significant contributor to the single market. The two priorities selected are cybersecurity and interoperability.
The whole scope of DPKI and the proposed access secure protocols are primarily related to cybersecurity. The proposed access protocol will use robust and trusted cryptographic algorithms to protect the protocols. It is prepared for migration to quantum resistant cryptographic algorithms (crypto agility).
In parallel, any communication protocol is designed for interoperability and the two proposed protocols are no exception. Interoperability is a necessity.

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)

The contributions will make significant impact for the description of the robotics requirements on an industrial intralogistics scenario, where robots and humans operate. This will impact robot communication services that will use 6G.
Moreover, the fellowship strongly focuses on ontologies, to achieve a better interoperability of concepts to enhance robot to robot and robot to humans’ communications. The use of the standardizes DOLCE upper ontology makes a significant difference.
Also, EU have within its borders numerous renowned robotics companies. An increasing number of cutting-edge robotics and autonomous systems now rely on AI-driven reasoning to handle their growing complexity. Today, global regulations are shaping how knowledge is represented for robotics services and tasks, and EU SMEs must comply with these standards. As a result, these knowledge representation standards will significantly influence the development of future robotic and autonomous systems.

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)

The formation of a new IEC working group on fibre optic quantum interconnect will align with the technologies of many European SMEs who would benefit from early engagement to develop standards, which help accelerate commercial adoption of their approaches. Therefore, I am strongly engaging with European quantum SMEs to secure support for the proposal and encourage participation. The successful formation of the WG would be followed by the establishment of liaisons to ISO/IEC JTC3 and CEN/CENELEC TC86

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)

The formation of IEC TC86 WG11 aligns well with the technologies of many European SMEs who would benefit from early engagement to develop standards, which help accelerate commercial adoption of their approaches. I am strongly engaging with European quantum SMEs to encourage participation from Europe; at the moment, the membership of the group overwhelmingly European (85%).

Impact on SMEs (9th Open Call)

I have built up the membership of this group, which at the time of the final report now has 39 members including 17 members from Europe, which includes some SMEs. The membership is therefore overwhelmingly European (45%).In particular through my fellowship I have consulted with many European quantum and photonic SMEs including Wave Photonics, Bay Photonics and Lumino to actively promote participation through BSI, which is a relatively easy process compared to other European NCs.

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

Europe is already a world-leader in the scientific research and industrialisation of quantum technologies, especially with regards to quantum communication and quantum computation technologies. My fellowship will strengthen European influence on quantum standards and by assuming a strong position on quantum technologies from industrial, academic and standardisation angles, Europe will be in a stronger position to establish a global competitive edge in this field.

Impact on society (6th Open Call)

This activity will strengthen European influence on quantum standards and by assuming a strong position on quantum technologies from industrial, academic and standardisation angles, Europe will be in a stronger position to establish a global competitive edge in this field.

Impact on society (9th Open Call)

European participation and influence in quantum standards groups will be critical to provide a boost across the European supply-chain enabling a larger European quantum market.
The potential benefits to society of quantum networks and quantum computers will be huge. Quantum safe networks will be required to send confidential data securely over appreciable distances and quantum computers will allow impossible world-scale simulations to be carried out in reasonable times.
Europe is already a world-leader in the scientific research and industrialisation of quantum technologies, especially with regards to quantum communication and quantum computation technologies. The key outcome of this fellowship was the successful establishment of IEC TC86 WG11 on Quantum Optical Interconnect as an active and growing Working Group. This new WG11 is strategically critical as its standards will strongly underpin quantum communication and networks, as well as contributing to all other quantum pillars.
By ensuring European SMEs participate actively in this new WG to apply Europe aligned positions on quantum technologies from ethical, industrial and academic angles, European influence on quantum standards will be strengthened and European society will be in a stronger position to establish a global competitive edge in this field.
These areas align well with strengths and expertise in European academic institutions and smaller start-up companies. Thus I have during this fellowship leveraged my extended network to increase involvement of the nascent European quantum industry, drawing primarily on UK. Swiss and EU entities for future support of and contributions to the new working group, thereby establishing strong European influence from the outset. I have successfully grown the membership to 39 members and I expect this to continue to grow rapidly now that we have started developing strategically critical new standards, in particular for quantum grade connectors.
