Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
Standardizing the Internet of Things (IoT) Non-Terrestrial Network in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project by decreasing the power consumption to maintain mobile connectivity will allow new IoT use cases. Therefore, European SMEs can increase their competitiveness by supporting mobile connectivity for applications or devices with stringent low-power requirements, such as agriculture or energy/water management.
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
The proposed study under my fellowship can decrease the power consumption of user equipment and base stations. Energy price and availability are some of the most critical topics in Europe. Low-power IoT devices with non-terrestrial network connectivity have applications that may benefit society, such as sensors for agriculture, environmental monitoring, and energy/water management in rural areas.

Impact on SMEs (2nd Open Call)
The impact of the standardisation activity on European SMEs is achieved by aligning international standards with European directives, like GDPR, helping SMEs gain clarity and confidence in navigating regulatory landscapes, fostering an environment conducive to innovation and compliance.
Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
These standardisation efforts foster essentially the risk management of SMEs enabling to Streamline AI compliance and integration, reducing regulatory burdens for SMEs. These also improve cybersecurity; while developing robust standards to protect SMEs from AI vulnerabilities. Finally these exchange competitiveness as SMEs’ market presence is increased through trustworthy AI systems.
Impact on society (2nd Open Call)
Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) ensures industry activities are conducted responsibly and ethically. Secondly, this does not only strengthen Europe's economic leadership in the ICT sector, but also fosters job creation and sustainable growth. Thirdly, by prioritising consumer protection, the standardisation activity ensures that the rights and interests of European consumers are upheld as blockchain and DLT reshape industries
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
Consumer Protection is improved with these standards, as they advance consumer rights and safety in AI, building public trust. Also, social Well-being is improved by promoting AI applications in critical sectors like healthcare, enhancing societal benefits.
This activity also supports ethical AI development, aligning with European values for balanced technological progress. These contributions position Europe at the forefront of responsible AI development, benefiting both the economy and society.

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.

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.

Description of Activities

The result of my current fellowship is a gap analysis and technical report including advice to all relevant major SDOs on how to develop or change their standards to fit better together. The JWG will also lay the foundation for producing an international reference architecture for LDT:s aligned with the international reference architectures for Digital Twins, IoT and Smart Cities among others.
