Description
The STAND4EU project was a collaborative initiative aimed at enhancing standardisation efforts across the European Union. It brought together industry, research, and end-users to develop standards that aligned with the needs and practices of diverse stakeholders.
STAND4EU and HSbooster.eu are two projects under the Horizon Europe Programme that aim to strengthen the links between research, innovation and standardisation. STAND4EU aims to identify the obstacles and potential remedies to address these obstacles and to develop communication platforms between the different actors. HSbooster.eu provides expert services to help Horizon Europe, Digital Europe Programme and H2020 projects to increase and valorise project results by contributing to standardisation in Europe and beyond.
In early 2024, we jointly organised a two-part workshop series "Boosting Standardisation in R&I Projects" that brought together researchers, standardisation experts, and policymakers. These sessions provided practical insights into overcoming common standardisation barriers while showcasing successful case studies from across Europe. Several additional events and webinars have been organised in coordination with STAND4EU.
This collaboration has delivered concrete value by combining STAND4EU's big-picture analysis of standardisation challenges with HSbooster.eu's practical tools and guidance. Together, we've helped EU projects navigate the standardisation landscape more effectively and transform their research outcomes into impactful standards.
