ANEC’s President Dermott Jewell participated in the first meeting of the High-Level Forum on European Standardization on 20 January, chaired by Commissioner Thierry Breton, and aided by Chief Standardization Officer, Maive Rute.

In the dynamic realm of Intelligent Transport Systems, a revolutionary document is shaping the future of emergency response. This ground-breaking initiative focuses on integrating eCall HLAP (high-level application protocols) into hybrid circuit-switched/packet-switched network environments, catering to the 112-eCall service across Europe.

The hyperloop is a new technology being developed by several companies all around the world. An innovative means of transport for large volumes of passengers and cargo, it is based on new or emerging technologies, such as low-pressure environment or magnetic levitation, that allow it to travel at very high speeds and protected from bad weather or other negative external conditions.

Every industrial sector needs a common grammar to work. Having an agreement between all parties involved (manufacturers, subcontractors, clients) on the meaning of technical concepts ensures that all parts of the processes for the development, testing and repair of a product, system or infrastructure are coherent and mutually compatible.

Data centres are a core element of the IT infrastructure supporting digital transformation. They contribute to a sustainable economy by improving the efficiency along the value creation chain. Nevertheless, data centres consume a significant amount of energy and other resources and are, as a result, also at risk n terms of their environmental sustainability. Due to emerging technologies and applications such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the resource consumption of data centres is constantly increasing.

Cement is a crucial, strategic component for the construction sector. However, considerable efforts still need to be conducted to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 for cementitious materials. A new project has been launched to achieve this goal, with the aim of gathering the necessary information, identifying promising new solutions, and shaping future standards.

In April, the online workshop ‘Organ on Chip: Towards Standardization’ took place as the 2021 edition of Putting Science into Standards (PSIS) in collaboration with the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.

European standards support the industrial strategy for Europe

For the second episode of the series, we interviewed Joanna Gajdek, at Austrian Standards (ASI), on an initiative to increase the participation of young girls in standardization and the importance of diversity in ensuring the resilience of our system.

The CEN and CENELEC Standards+Innovation Awards acknowledge and celebrate the important contributions of Researchers, Innovators and Entrepreneurs to Standardization. On 26 October, for its fifth edition, we will host the 2023 Awards Ceremony. Approaching the event, we conducted a series of interviews with the winners of last year’s edition, to better know them and understand how winning the award has impacted their career.
