<p>We are extremely proud to publish this fifth issue of our ‘Following the Fellows’ series which once more bears testimony to the <strong>palpable impact</strong> generated by European ICT experts within international Standardisation Developing Organisations’ Working Groups, thanks to financial support provided through the <strong><em>StandICT.eu 2023 Fellowship Programme</em></strong><em>,</em> to the tune of three million Euro delivered over a set of 9 Open Calls as part of the broader mission of the StandICT.eu 2023 Coordination and Support Action, funded by the European Commission’s H2020 Framework Programme.</p>
<p>The goal of these regular publications is to place the work carried out by our fellows centre stage and to illustrate the demonstrable outcomes that excellent research can make to both society and to the economy. Therefore, we attempt to substantiate how each effort on which the fellows are engaged provides a potential benefit to society and contributes to the achievement of specific, desired, societal outcomes as a result of the ICT Standardisation efforts. </p>
