Workshop on Cross-Domain Standardisation and Architecture for Edge Computing
Brussels, Belgium

Our colleague Dave Raggett (W3C) has been invited by Rolf Riemenschneider (DG Connect) to talk about cross-sector standardisation on the "Workshop on Cross-Domain standardisation and architecture for IoT and edge computing" that will take place on 26-27 November in Brussels. Dave will also take part of a panel about scaling up standards from pilots to international actions. 

Our technical coordinator Anastasios Zafeiropoulos (NTUA) will also represent our project in a panel about standardisation strategies from the EU CEI also on this event.

This workshop, organized by the European Commission in partnership with CEI Sphere and INSTAR, aims to identify and address gaps in standardization across various domains and industry stakeholders. It will tackle key questions about international standardization activities and the EU’s role in them, encourage collaboration between ongoing IoT and edge computing projects, and facilitate brainstorming for future roadmaps. The goal is to foster a unified approach to standardization at the international level by working with relevant global entities to create standards for emerging technologies. 

Key standardization committees and initiatives, such as ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 41 (SC41) and SAREF, will lead discussions, focusing on speeding up and streamlining standardization efforts across projects.
