The India Smart Utility Week (ISUW 2023) will include plenaries, bilateral workshops, keynotes, technical sessions, technical paper presentations, tutorials and technical tours. Bi-lateral Smart Grid workshops with the EU and USA are also being planned.

This workshop is organised jointly by the CEN-CENELEC Sector Forum on Security and the EU funded project NESTOR together with nine other EU-funded projects. The aim of the action is to help producing a preliminary roadmap for standardization activities on the Border Management (BM) domain.

The conference aims to foster dialogue among policymakers, industry, research and standardization organizations, in view of an effective implementation of the EU cybersecurity legislation.

This webinar will provide participants with the latest developments regarding the preparation of harmonized standards (hENs) for Healthcare.
It will also provide guidance and solutions to Technical Bodies in the preparation of harmonized standards in support of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR) to ensure a smooth citation of healthcare standards in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Following the European Chips Act, the European Commission has established the need for microchips to be the foundation for emerging technologies to rise in Europe (e.g. highly automated cars, cloud, IoT, connectivity, space, defence and supercomputers). To fully benefit from the future of microchips, European stakeholders need a common approach that enables trust, security, quality and interoperability along the entire value chain.

The risk of hearing loss is underestimated. Hearing loss is one of the most common disabilities. Unfortunately, it is usually observed only very late after many years of exposure. And worst of all, hearing loss is irreversible.
With modern communication needs, the ability of hearing becomes more and more important. Therefore, it is critical to protect our hearing and enable communication even in noisy environments.
CEN/TC 159 “Hearing protection” is focussing on describing requirements for hearing protection to make sure that products put on the market are safe and do protect users. Additionally, it gives guidelines on how to best select, use and maintain hearing protection.

After a very successful first webinar, the 2nd webinar “Highlights in Circular Economy standardization” will be held in October 26th from 1 to 3 PM. It is organized by the CEN-CLC SABE Topic Group Circular Economy (SABE CE-TG) with the objective of providing guidance to CEN and CENELEC technical bodies in the preparation of circular economy related standards. This workshop will provide participants with practical information regarding standardization activities and best practices related to circular economy and material efficiency topics from three CEN and CENELEC or ISO and IEC committees.
