<p>We are extremely proud to publish this second issue of our &lsquo;Following the Fellows&rsquo; series which once more bears testimony to the <strong>palpable impact</strong> generated by European ICT experts within international Standardisation Developing Organisations&rsquo; 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 &am

This report provides an immersion to user empowered outcomes of the StandICT.eu 2023 Open Call #1 from the perspective of fellows that were selected and funded in this call. Our team is proud to present the first series of StandICT.eu 2023 success stories of the funded fellowships detailing the addressed standards and landscapes, how these will fill in the identified gaps as well as impact the related stakeholders and society. Standardisation plays a vital role in creating a fair market-based competition and help ensure the interoperability of complementary products and services.

<p>This report provides an immersion into the outcomes of the StandICT.eu 2023 Open Call #8 from the perspective of fellows that were selected and funded under this call. The primary purpose of this document is to share the results attained through the work carried out by the funded experts, and to showcase the most relevant outcomes, creating awareness of the potential impact and repercussions of such impact on commerce, industry, governmental policies and strategies and the society.

<p>This report marks the final batch #9 of the funded fellows under the StandICT.eu 2023 Programme. It shares perspectives of fellows that were selected and funded under this ninth open call. The ninth StandICT.eu 2023 Open Call was launched on the 15th of December 2022 and closed on the 15th of February 2023. The StandICT.eu Open Calls target European ICT standardisation experts contributing to the international SDOs, work groups and/ or technical committees at any of the priority topics, as taken from the Rolling Plan for ICT Standardisation.

<p>This report was developed by the EU-funded project StandICT.eu 2026 in collaboration with the EU-funded projects CYBERSTAND.eu, INSTAR, HSbooster.eu, and NERO. The insights and recommendations shared here come directly from the communities built through these projects, reflecting the hands-on experience of experts actively shaping cybersecurity standards. These perspectives are unique and not available anywhere else online, as they stem from real-world engagement rather than theory.

<p>The European Green Deal &amp; the New Industrial Strategy for Europe call for a strong EU presence in international Standardisation development. The recent significant shifts in the geopolitical environment call for increasing the intensity of the EU presence in international standardisation committees. Building up a strong and sustainable pool of European Standardisation competent professionals who are ready to engage in European and International Standardisation is crucial.
