We are extremely proud to publish this second issue of our ‘Following the Fellows’ series which once more bears testimony to the palpable impact generated by European ICT experts within international Standardisation Developing Organisations’ Working Groups, thanks to financial support provided through the StandICT.eu 2023 Fellowship Programme, to the tune of three million Euro delivered over a set of 9 Open Calls as part of the broader mission of the StandICT.eu 2023 Coordination and Support Action, funded by the European Commission’
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.
This report blazes a trail for global standardization. For the first time, representatives from many different SDOs and academic institutions have created an open access database of specifications, reviews and guidelines for a particular theme (Artificial Intelligence)
This report provides an overview of the work done by the Technical Working Group (TWG), performed by analysing almost 5,000 global standards in connection with semiconductors and chips technology. The table used for this analysis will be published in 6 months from the publication date of this report. This report is split in two major parts: a landscape overview, and a gap analysis. It is aimed to be circulated widely among experts and Standard Development Organisations (SDOs) to help share the findings and the analysis of the TWG.
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.
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.
Over its three-year lifespan, StandICT.eu 2023 has sought to generate valuable recommendations and position statements that could offer significant insights for the European Commission policy setting. This has been mainly achieved through the synergistic and focused efforts of the EUOS (European Observatory on Standardisation), the EUOS Foresight Committee, and the External Advisory Group, which all consist of influential figures in the field of Standardisation.
This Landscape Report focuses primarily on standards to consider when constructing CitiVerse or developing further standards for CitiVerse. Standards for various application areas, utilising the possibilities with CitiVerse, will eventually be taken into consideration in later versions of this document but are not included for now.
The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of the key findings, take aways and recommendations from the workshop “Accelerating standardisation in the nexus of mobility, buildings and energy” that took place in Brussels on the 31st of January 2024. The workshop was organised by the European Commission, DG-CONNECT, Internet of Things Unit, the Alliance for IoT and Edge Computing Innovation (IOTI) and HSBooster EU funded project.
The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of the key findings, takeaways and recommendations from the workshop “Human Rights and ICT standardisation” that took place online on the 6th June 2024.
