A new CEN Workshop is being established entitled “Ultrasound-assisted production of lignin nanoparticles”. This Workshop arises from the Horizon 2020 BIOMAC project (European Sustainable BIO-based nanoMAterials Community). The project seeks to establish an Open Innovation Test Bed (IOTB), a true collaborative ecosystem where technologies and solutions utilising nano-enabled bio-based materials (NBMs) will be upscaled and prepared for market applications.
A new CEN Workshop is being established entitled “Reference Architecture for AI solutions’ application within process industry – the EU project s-X-AIPI experience”. This Workshop arises from the Horizon 2020 s-X-AIPI project (self-X Artificial Intelligence for European Process Industry digital transformation). The s-X-AIPI project endeavour is to research, develop, test, and validate a bespoke suite of trustworthy self-X AI technologies tailored for process industries. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between AI capabilities and traditional automation processes, ensuring that AI tools are both accessible and effective across various industrial applications.
A new CEN Workshop is being established to build upon the innovative outcomes of the VARCITIES European Project (VISIONARY NATURE BASED ACTIONS FOR HEALTH, WELLBEING & RESILIENCE IN CITIES). The project’s vision is to implement visionary solutions in cities, creating sustainable models aimed at improving the health and well-being of citizens facing diverse climatic conditions and urban challenges.
The CEN Workshop on ‘Characterization and testing of membranes for gas separation applications’ was kicked off on 04 June 2024. The Workshop’s registered participants have agreed on the final draft of the CWA.
The CEN Workshop on ‘'Intelligent Road intervention processes(IRIP) was kicked off on 7th October 2024. The Workshop’s registered participants have agreed on the final drafts of the CWAs.
The CEN and CENELEC Workshop on ‘Standardized On-site SRI Building Audits: Framework Development Workshop’ was kicked off on 04 March 2024. The Workshop’s registered participants have agreed on the final draft of the CWA.
The content of this proposed CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) is developed as part of the Horizon Europe project n. 101121167 TeamUP “Holistic capability and technology evaluation and co-creation framework for upskilled first responders and enhanced CBRN-E response”.
This CEN-CENELEC Workshop intends to develop two CWAs related with the automation of road maintenance technologies.
The motivation for this workshop comes from the Horizon Europe funded project MARBEFES - MARine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning leading to Ecosystem Services (Grant Agreement no 101060937). One aspect of the project aims to achieve ecological and socio-economic valuation through a validated set of innovative tools. As part of the development of these tools, the project identified the need for a common methodology for ecosystem valuation which could be applied across European waters.
The planned CEN Workshop Agreement will provide clear guidelines and criteria for products produced without burning fossil fuels.
