CEN and CENELEC published a new Position Paper to respond to the Action Plan presented by the European Commission on synergies between civil, defence and space industries.
On Friday 11 February, CEN and CENELEC were happy to host Kerstin Jorna, Director General of the European Commission’s Directorate General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROW), at their Brussels headquarters.
On Wednesday, 9 February, Elena Santiago Cid, CEN and CENELEC’s Director General, participated as a speaker to the high-level panel “Standardisation in support of the twin transition of industrial SMEs”. The debate was organised by the European Commission in the framework of the EU Industry Days, Europe’s flagship annual event dedicated to the European industry. In particular, the 2022 edition was focussed on the industry’s role in the EU’s twin digital and green transition.
This planned CEN Workshop specifies the requirements for acquiring digital information from victims during a search and rescue SAR operations. Furthermore, it establishes requirements of digital triaging during a search and rescue mission regarding the categories of safety, usability, data protection, security and system compatibility.
CEN and CENELEC, two of the three officially recognised European Standardization Organizations, welcome the new European Standardization Strategy which reinforces the common efforts to deliver on the ambitions of the twin transition.
The Bulgarian Institute for Standardization (BDS) and the Romanian Standards Association (ASRO), in partnership with five universities, recently finalised the implementation of the two-year project STUNED - Standards Teaching in University Education, funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Commission.
The European Commission issued on 2 February its long-awaited Strategy on Standardization, which was accompanied by a proposal for an amendment to the Regulation on standardization, a report on its implementation, and the 2022 AUWP for European standardization. ETUC welcomes the standardization strategy as it addresses most of the issues we had raised in our contribution to the consultation during the summer.
In 2021, the European Commission launched the latest Research Framework programme: Horizon Europe. Horizon Europe will run from 2021 to 2027 with a budget of 95.5 billion Euros targeting researchers and innovators in pursuit of Europe’s strategic goals, with a focus on the green and digital transition.
