CEN and CENELEC, together with the Lithuanian Standards Board (LST), participated in ‘Making Research Results Work for Society’ on 6 June in Vilnius, by delivering a training on the implementation of the Code of Practice for Researchers on Standardization in the European Research Area.
In 2023, CEN and CENELEC are happy to announce that they will host the fifth edition of the Standards+Innovation Awards. The Awards acknowledge and celebrate every year the important contributions of the researchers and innovators community to Standardization.
The CEN workshop ' Digital health innovations – Good practice guide for obtaining user consent for personal health information' was kicked off on 22 July 2022. The Workshop registered participants have agreed on the final draft of the CWA.
The European Commission has published a new Code of Practice on standardization for researchers. The Code provides a set of recommendations to beneficiaries of public-funded research and innovation programmes on how to valorise project results through standardization. The recommendations also target universities and public research organizations, policymakers, and standard development organizations (SDOs).
In a recently published position paper, CEN (the European Committee for Standardization) and CENELEC (the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) warmly welcome the draft “Code of Practice on Standardization for Researchers” proposed by the European Commission.
On Monday 3 October, CEN and CENELEC hosted the fourth edition of their Standards+Innovation Awards, an event that celebrates and acknowledges the important contribution of research and innovation to standardization.
The motivation for this Workshop came from multiple European research projects and large-scale pilots that found that they were all needing to identify the most suitable lawful basis for collecting and processing personal health data for the development, deployment, testing and evaluation of digital health innovations. This CWA aims to combine the experience of various R&I projects regarding this topic in a best practice guide on how to obtain user consent for personal health information.
CEN and CENELEC and their Members are fully committed to strengthening their relationship with researchers and innovators and promoting standards as tools to channel research outcomes and innovative ideas into the market.
On Tuesday March 8th the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC), together with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) held a virtual event to celebrate the renewal of their Cooperation Agreement which took place at the end of 2021.
