Description of Activities
This fellowship project has prioritised ‘gap areas’ where the lack of adequate DLT/Blockchain standards is slowing the formulation of government regulations and cross border agencies, or where ambiguity of language is causing confusion or slowing integration of distributed systems.

Open Call Topics
Impact on SMEs (2nd Open Call)
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.
Impact on society (2nd Open Call)
This project makes the links between the SMEs operating in the business arena and the standards development to support their operations.
