Standards provide an important basis for developing solutions and ensure wider dissemination of research results.

This European Conference will offer you the opportunity to engage with leading experts on innovation and standardization issues to discuss, challenge, and learn how standardization can facilitate and further European innovation. Speakers will include representatives of standards bodies and researchers at national and European levels.
