This year’s annual Standardization Conference took place at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid from June 18-20. It was supported by the Spanish Association for Standardization (UNE), StandICT.eu, and Edu4Standards. About 50 experts from academia and standardization gathered to discuss the state of research on standardization.
The call for nominations to the 7th edition of the Standards+Innovation Awards is now open and includes the biannual award for technical body officers as well as a new category for education professionals.
With the launch of the first Standards+Innovation Awards, CEN, CENELEC and their members took important steps towards giving researchers well-deserved recognition for their contribution to standardization. However, there can be no research in standardization without education in standardization. Education in standardization based on European values also reinforces Europe’s capacity to contribute to international standardization activities. With the new award category dedicated to education, CEN and CENELEC address the need for education and skills identified in the EU Standardization Strategy released in 2022 and the Code of Practice on standardization published in 2023.
CEN and CENELEC are pleased to support the dissemination of the survey launched by the European Commission on the Codes of Practice for Knowledge Valorisation, adopted between 2023 and 2024.
On February 18, CEN and CENELEC joined the European Parliament ITRE Working Group on Horizon Europe to discuss the role of standardization in the Framework Programme 10 (FP10).
The 37th meeting of the CEN and CENELEC Working Group of the Technical Boards on Standardization, Innovation and Research, also known as STAIR, took place on 11 December in Brussels.
The 6th edition of the CEN and CENELEC Standards+Innovation Awards was presented on 10 December 2024 as part of the annual EU flagship event on knowledge valorisation.

The 45th Meeting of the CROSQ Council, alongside the InDiCo-Global European Standardization System (ESS) Workshop, was held on 9 October 9, 2024, in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The meeting marked a milestone for collaboration between Caribbean and European Standardization Organizations (ESO). The event, co-hosted by CROSQ (CARICOM Regional Organization for Standards and Quality) and InDiCo-Global (Global International Digital Cooperation on Standards and Related Policy), provided a strategic forum for advancing regional and global standards harmonization.
After two years of hard work by 120 European experts, 10 focus group meetings, 90 working group (WG) meetings, and three revisions, the final version of the roadmap for Organ-on-Chip standardization is ready. You can download the roadmap here.
