This workshop is motivated by the industry need to identify and clarify the performance criteria of paint and coating systems for defence and security applications. There are numerous international, European, and national paint standards, but they do not take account of military constraints, which are different from those in the civilian sector. This is especially true of testing and performances criteria for land, air, and naval weapons.

More data is being generated than ever before. The global volume of data has doubled between 2018 and 2022 and is expected to double again between 2022 and 2025.

Standardisation of Raman devices and Raman data spectroscopy is receiving strong interest in recent years due to the broad expansion in number and type of Raman devices and the need to assure data exchange and data consistency along devices and the across different units and sampling configurations.

This CEN/WS intends to develop a CWA (Workshop Agreement): Tentative title: ” Aluminium And Its Alloys. Fluidity Evaluation Via Multi Strip Testing Moulds”

The Horizon Europe research projects PROMISCES, ZeroPM and SCENARIOS all aim at developing solutions to tackle the various challenges concerning the detection, risk assessment, remediation, and prevention of PMT (persistent, mobile, toxic)/vPvM (very persistent, very mobile) substances from entering the soil-sediment-water system. The CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) is intended to present a collection of these solutions and is targeted at all stakeholders active in the field of PMT management, whether they are researchers, public authorities, problem owners, water utilities, soil/brownfield actors or companies developing market-ready solutions.

This workshop is motivated by the currently ongoing Horizon 2020 InComEss project whose objective is to develop efficient smart materials with energy harvesting and storage capabilities combining advanced  to harvest electrical energy from mechanical energy and/or waste heat ambient sources.

This draft CWA defines/establishes/specifies CBRNe-related sensor data formats and protocols to support forensics investigations. The CWA is applicable to/is intended to be used by forensics analytics and crime scene investigators. The CWA does not apply to/is not intended to be used by professionals not trained in forensics investigation.

This workshop is motivated by the currently ongoing Horizon 2020 INKplant project (INK-BASED HYBRID MULTIMATERIAL FABRICATION OF NEXT GENERATION IMPLANTS), whose general objective is the future incorporation of additive manufactured scaffolds into the daily routine of medical practice, so that the whole society benefits from personalized regenerative therapies.

This CWA is related to two aspects: the identification of Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) embedded in car electronics and the information sharing among all the actors involved (for several reasons and with different roles) in automotive supply chains. This CWA defines a method to support all the automotive actors in identifying the presence of CRMs in car electronics and disassembling/separating/recycling these components in a proper way. The final aim is improving the recyclability rate of CRMs from cars, create a market for secondary CRMs and reuse CRMs in new high-value applications (possibly within the automotive sector).

The GLOMICAVE project is developing a cloud-based genotype to phenotype platform – relying on Big Data Analytics (BDA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques – and using large-scale publicly available and experimental omics datasets, enhanced with an automatic processing of scientific literature.
