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

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)
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 (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.

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
A unified approach to developing cybersecurity certification schemes and the possibility of reusing evaluation results produced under different certification schemes would be a dominant factor in decreasing the costs and workload needed for the certification of composite products or services. This could, at least partly, remove financial barriers for SMSs to enter the certification market.
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
The societal impact measured by increasing confidence in the certification as a powerful cybersecurity tool would be real.
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
The resulting study in the form of PWI 25543 is aimed at keeping the reference standards as the-state-of_the_art documents which cope with emerging and future technologies in cybersecurity certification.
The goal set up in the plan is strongly supported by sound standards with appropriate scope of application. In this way the assessments can be repeatable and comparable thus create the basis for wide recognition of results which usually appear as certificates respected by all EU Member States.

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
The involved standards are useful so that Europe is involved in this type of cybersecurity, which may affect future EU directives.
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 (1st Open Call)
Many of the proposed use case contributions continue to spring from our outreach to European experts within SDOs, companies and SMEs. The ISO/TC 307 WG6 programme
provides an active forum for SMEs to:
- Contribute and discuss EU technical initiatives on emerging international standards representing European values, ethics & regulations such as privacy (e.g.: privacy - GDPR/ eIDAS) and European green transition initiatives (e.g.: EBSI blockchain to create trusted digital audit trails).
- SMEs can gain the opportunity to understand the value of standards, via example use cases and models. The use cases provide insights and cross-domain example that can inform SMEs in their product development, and adoption of their technologies.
- Review international use cases and gain insights for EU participation in local markets, or in cross-border /sector issues.
- The Vienna Agreement enables ISO standards to be freely shared with CEN/CENELEC members, including SMEs.
Impact on SMEs (3rd Open Call)
This contribution has a wide impact for European SMEs. One example is where in my role as Convenor of ISO/TC307 WG6 Use Cases, we invite international SME experts to
get involved in regulatory and standards development processes by sharing their insights and creating use cases into emerging technologies.
This approach can enable faster adoption of their business and technical models, and for European SMEs, who create perspectives consistent with EU regulations and societies, such as privacy (GDPR, AI Act) and sustainability (Net Zero and ESG). (See section 2.1) In the lead-up to the ISO/TC 307 Plenary on 4 June 2024, we have gathered 10+ SMEs to showcase and present leading DLT solutions from SMEs, plus involvement in multiple SDO and entrepreneur events including Blockchain Ireland, INABTA etc.
Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
The contribution impacts European SMEs and/or European societies and decision-makers on a high level by developing technical standards in DLT/Blockchain that reflect European democratic values including.
- E-Privacy: EU Artificial Intelligence Act, new Data Act, GDPR
- Fintech and Def: MiCA crypto
- Sustainable initiatives: carbon markets, smart energy
- Interoperable platforms: EBSI, digital product passports
Moreover, I see two major impacts with SMEs. Firstly, international standards enable faster technical adoption for SMEs, as ISO standards provide ‘templates’ of technical systems and guidelines, that provide a baseline for SMEs to build their own solutions that are interoperable and lower risk for potential partners/investors.
Secondly, SME are involved in standards development: The use case methodology in ISO/TC 307 WG6 is based on active outreach to SMEs who are pioneering new DLT capabilities. They provide contributions to the standards through ISO/TC 307 WG6 and ongoing external business events.
Impact on society (1st Open Call)
The DLT/Blockchain technology is often referred to as ‘the technology of trust’. This ISO feature on my work at ISO/TC 307 and WG6 Use Cases explains the societal impacts of trust across supply chains, digital trust, data provenance, Energy trading, records management, Anti-counterfeit pharma and food safety and provenance.
Over recent years, blockchain has evolved into a transformational technology promising to offer secure, real-time transactions across different sectors and industries that will
revolutionise the way we do business. ISO is at the forefront of this technology to ensure that its users all speak the same language.
Impact on society (3rd Open Call)
This work sources use cases that can support societal impacts across international priorities such as Net Zero goals for climate change. They can support European values,
democracy, and human rights based on European societal regulations including:
- Privacy: new Data Act, GDPR
- Fintech and Defi: MiCA crypto regulations
- Sustainable initiatives: carbon markets
- Interoperable platforms: EBSI, digital passports,
- And in 2024 the EU Artificial Intelligence Act

Artificial Intelligence
Impact on SMEs (1st Open Call)
Providing technical clarity on the right information elements to log is key to supporting the AI Act, and the more clarity that is available, the cheaper it will be for SMEs to comply. There are also many SMEs providing tools to support AI governance, which could receive a significant boost by aligning with the resulting standardised log files.
Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
All three projects are likely to be relevant to the AI Act. SMEs will benefit from clear guidance and societal stakeholders have a voice in the projects. If these projects did not exist, then SMEs would need to rely on lawyers, analysis and academic literature to be compliant.
Impact on society (1st Open Call)
The AI Act envisages that logging can enable post-market monitoring. In future, these standardised logs may provide the ability to have a “black-box” associated with high-risk AI systems, potentially monitored in real-time, reducing the manifestation of risks that have an impact on society.

Impact on SMEs (1st Open Call)
SMEs will be strongly impacted by the future set of harmonised standards in support of the AI Act. One of the aims of the JTC 21 is to provide standards that are innovation-friendly and actionable. Following JTC 21/WG 1 work, a dedicated AHG (AHG 9) has been set up to support SMEs.
Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
This project clarifies for SMEs when they use standards related to trustworthiness characteristics, as conformity assessment for those characteristics will be done for defined domains and operating conditions.
Impact on society (1st Open Call)
My work supports AI trustworthiness characteristics such as robustness, human oversight, accuracy, cybersecurity, and transparency (all those are requirements from the AI Act).
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
The impact is potentially significant worldwide, as the European regulation on AI and its subsequent harmonised standards will be followed by any international company that wants to do business in Europe.
