The obligation of public administration to grant the same high-level standard of public services irrespective of the location and agency providing them is complementary to the right of each person to have the same level of access to public services, no matter the county, or region, where they are provided.
The Workshop will produce a CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) which will define guidelines for a unified technological framework consisting of the integration of planning, perception, and communication in human-robot collaboration (HRC) systems.
Industrial processes are often energy-intensive and the need for their efficient decarbonization is now at the forefront of governmental and corporate policies worldwide. However, solutions for the green transition of the industrial sector should be flexible, widely applicable, and reliable. Two-thirds of industrial energy consumption is related to heating and cooling processes and is becoming a major environmental problem. The integration of renewable thermal energy sources at industrial sites is therefore crucial.
The 2022 ceremony of the annual CEN and CENELEC Standards+Innovation Awards will take place on 3 October. This year marks the fourth edition of the Awards, which were launched in 2019 with the aim of acknowledging the important contribution of research and innovation to standardization.
Although good catalysts for nODH of alkanes have already been provided, there is still a need of additional ones with high catalytic conversion, activity and selectivity, and/or with a catalytic conversion. The selection of certain metals in combination with other elements, all of them stabilized with particular organic compounds and adsorbed on porous supports, gave rise to highly active catalytic surface areas that, in addition, not only are selective for propene selectivity in nODH, but also are highly stable and free from the main drawbacks of other catalysts for the same reaction (i.e. coke formation, by-side deactivating reactions, etc.).
CEN/TC 461 ‘Public Procurement’ develops standards in the field of public procurement. Since its inception in 2019, the TC’s main task has been the development of a new standard, EN 17687: 2022 ‘Public Procurement - Integrity and accountability - Requirements and guidance’, which now has finally seen the light.
CEN and CENELEC’s Legal Advisor Martin Chatel will be lecturing at The Florence Patent Licensing Academy at the European University Institute (EUI).
2022 is the European Year of Youth. To celebrate this occasion, CEN and CENELEC are conducting a campaign, presenting a regular series of interviews with young professionals active in European standardization. In the sixth episode of the series, we get to know Jayson Shepherd, from the United Kingdom.
This CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) provides orientation for the management of building retrofitting projects, based on enhanced shallow geothermal technologies, in form of guidelines for the classification of an integrated design team and the identification of the primary roles of actors among the whole project life-cycle.
The CEN Workshop (CEN/WS) will develop a CWA aimed to provide a user-centred summative and formative testing methodology for public sector bodies and agencies willing to measure the extent to which local public service delivery (including offline and online modes) empowers refugees and regular immigrants in the fulfilment of their integration goals and in so doing, ultimately enables a full exercise of their acknowledged citizenship rights.
