Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)

Simulation standards make additive manufacturing easier to adopt and more affordable for smaller companies. Clear guidelines reduce the learning curve, cut costly trial-and-error, and help SMEs achieve consistent part quality from the start. With access to reliable, standardised simulation tools, SMEs can optimise designs, prevent defects before production, and innovate without the heavy investment normally required. This levels the playing field and allows smaller firms to compete more effectively with larger industry players.

Impact on society (7th Open Call)

Standardised simulation improves the safety, reliability, and sustainability of 3D-printed products used across sectors such as healthcare, transport, and energy. More accurate predictions of material behaviour and part performance reduce waste, lower environmental impact, and increase confidence in AM-based solutions. As these standards accelerate responsible innovation, society benefits from cleaner production methods, safer components, and wider access to advanced manufacturing technologies.

Description of Activities

With the support of this fellowship, I tackle specific bias detection and mitigation requirements with accompanying illustrative example within CEN/CLC/JTC21 WG3 "Concepts, measures and requirements for managing bias in AI systems" standard that are aligned/harmonised with relevant EU AI Act legislation.

Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)

My contribution provides SMEs with an illustrative example and accompanying requirements to detect and mitigate bias in AI systems using tabular data. This contribution will assist AI providers and deployers with the detection and mitigation of unwanted bias and thereby assist them in complying with the EU AI Act and protecting fundamental rights.

Impact on society (7th Open Call)

My contribution addresses a current lack of detail regarding the detection and mitigation of unwanted bias accruing due to (high-risk) AI systems. As such, my contribution helps AI providers and deployers evaluate situations where bias may be a concern as well as help comply with the EU AI Act (Article 10) and protect fundamental rights.

Description of Activities

A strong priority for this work is to contribute to standards to enable consideration of the support for data management in the cloud. Data spaces can only be fully realised with the application of strong quality management controls through standardisation at multiple levels.

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)

Contribution to the national body position through discussions with our members provides a voice to the concerns or challenges of our SMEs as well as to larger organisations.

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)

It is critical to establish common European standards linking hardware and software particularly in new areas of technology and standardization. Example use cases include the improvement of reliability of edge and cloud computing where processing of personal data, or highly regulated data is concerned. This is even more important when considering the complexities of combining (even anonymized) data sets and processing that data in cloud hosted environments. With the impact of layered approaches to address these complexities the necessity to harmonize software and cloud-based techniques is essential.

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

As a national body we have members contributing to the CEN Focus Group on 'Data, Dataspaces, Cloud and Edge'. We feel this is important as the cloud supports data and dataspaces whilst at the same time data is utilised in supporting the cloud. This could have a large impact on standards created in the near future. Obtaining expert advice from many areas is important in this early stage of these standards.

Quantum Technologies

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 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.
