A new context



Growing importance of standardization for innovation

Recent policy initiatives

Pilot waves of FP7 calls in 2012 and 2013

Standardization expected to play an important role in Horizon 2020



How can standardization contribute to innovation?

Use recognized methodologies, processes, terminology… Don’t reinvent the wheel !

Enable the fast and easier market exploitation of research results

Ensure results adapt to market conditions Dissemination of research results to European

stakeholders in your field Long-term exploitation of research results



From chaos to order:

A wealth of new opportunities – BUT What does the ‘research world’ look like? Who does what? What groups / Technical Committees/ expertise does CEN-

CENELEC have to match? Where does standardization fit in? Etc



CEN and CENELEC actions



The new CEN CENELEC Research Integration Unit

Strategic aim: to facilitate the uptake of standardization in research projects

Focus on increasing the use of standardization by research projects, through interaction with:

1.CEN and CENELEC members

2.European Commission

3.Research and Innovation Community



3 pillars approach

CEN and CENELEC members Changing and adapting internal processes, policies etc

European Commission Interface with the EC

Research and Innovation Community Engage and explain the standardization system to the

research community Promote and raise awareness of the role standardization

plays in research



3 pillars approach – in practice

CEN and CENELEC members STAIR (STandardization, Innovation and Research) Research, Development and Innovation Correspondents

(RDI-COR) European Commission

Informal Working group between the ESOs and the EC Research and Innovation Community

Interface with ETPs, JTIs, PPPs, EIPs Cooperation agreement with EURAMET

Standardization in FP7 calls



Standardization in the 2012 FP7 NMP calls

18 references to standardization

The CEN CENELEC Research Helpdesk has

advised/supported 26 proposals

Example: call FP7-NMP-2012-CSA-6 Support

for standardisation needs

Future project (under negotiation): NanoSTAIR



Standardization in the 2013 FP7 NMP calls

In the 2013 FP7 NMP workprogramme: 26

references to standardization. Source: NMP

orientation paper

Out of these 26 calls: 16 are within the PPPs

Example : call FoF.NMP.2013-10 Manufacturing

processes for products made of composites or

engineered metallic materials



Perspectives



Next steps

July 2012 : new and last FP7 calls Screen per sector / standardization links Inform CEN and CENELEC Members Inform all relevant Technical Committees and groups

Provide targeted support to projectsRaise awareness to the research communityContinue the dialogue with EU institutions New webpages for FP7 themes



3 dates

2012-09-11 - 2nd meeting of RDI-COR – focus on the new calls

2012-09-12 - STAIR meeting – stock taking, looking ahead

2012-09-13 – 2nd Info Session for the research community – focus on the new calls (9.30 to 13.00 followed by networking lunch) – Info available on our website



How will Horizon 2020 address standardization ?

Our proposals

-Include references to standardization needs and opportunities in the Horizon 2020 work programmes

-Encourage proposers to use standardization to support the transfer of innovation to the market and increase the impact of research projects

-Provide for the possibility that funding arrangements for necessary standardization activities could be addressed at later stages of a project
