StandICT.eu 2023 rolls out its EUOS – European Observatory for ICT Standardisation - An eye on the global Standardisation arena
https://www.standict.eu/euos The EUOS will monitor the global ICT Standardisation landscape, with its ultimate goal to provide to the community of ICT experts the most accurate coverage of relevant and timely ICT Standards, priorities and needs that might affect the key ICT domains of the DSM and the EU ICT Rolling Plan for Standardisation. The EUOS goes one step further to provide an interactive platform, considered the Go-To place for all things related to ICT Standards all in one place, with a rewards scheme embedded. The EUOS distinguishes itself with two distinct entry points: 1- Discussion Groups - A collaborative, networking space to provide users to join the conversation with other ICT members by starting new discussions on relevant ICT topics, creating Technical Working Groups (TWG) groups, creating and editing documents, setting up live chats, video calls or sharing calendar of events or simply valuable insights around the ICT Standardisation arena. 2- Standards Repository - A library of the most relevant Standards covering the pivotal ICT fields, continuously updated and integrated with user-friendly search functionality to allow a smooth browsing. The Technical Working Groups (TWGs), feature thought leadership personalities in critical ICT sectors, with the ambitious goal to drive forward and elaborate tailored Landscape and Gap Analyses on a given subject area. The final report may be presented as part of any active discussion of the European Multi Stakeholder Platform on ICT Standardisation and brought to the attention of every Standard Developing Organisation (SDO) that is currently dealing with the specific subject or theme. These TWGs will deliver a specific deliverable in the related technology domain, under the form of a Report, a Response to an EC Strategy/Policy, a Technical specification, a White Paper or a Foresight Report. Each TWG will have an Executive Committee of around 6 core members, and every group will be then overseen by a Chair and co-chair to provide clear guidance and leadership. Seven TWGs have already been identified with shortlisted members ready to start working upon the EUOS release, following a 6 week-lasting “sprint” and to be then replaced by new ones tackling different ICT areas. Eighty experts have already signed up to support the following TWGs topics, more TWGs will be formed in the coming months: * Blockchain Chair - Mr. Ismael Arribas (INATBA) * Artificial Intelligence Chair - Mr. Lindsay Frost (ETSI Board and NEC Senior Scientist) * Big Data Spaces Chair - Mr. Stefan Gessler (Project Manager at NEC), Co-Chair Dimosthenis Kyriazis (Associate Professor at University of Piraeus) * Data Interoperability Chair - Mr. Tom De Block (Chairman of the AIOTI WG on DLT), Co-Chair Mr. Jochen Friedrich (IBM Executive, Open Forum Europe) * Cybersecurity Chair - Mr. Matthias Pocs (Founder of Stelar – Security Technology Law Research) * Smart Cities Chair - Mr. Joel Meyers (Smart Cities track of the IEEE World Forum) * Trusted Information Chair - Mr. Sebastian Hallensleben (Head of Digitalisation and AI at VDE) As well as the TWGs, we launch today the Academy of Standardization Expert Group (EG) to collect and create Education ABOUT Standards and Education ON Standards related material to augment existing already the ISO Academy and ETSI/ CENCENELEC Training Material. Our Expert Advisory Group member Brian McAuliffe (JTC1 Liaison to EC) has agreed to Chair the group and invitations are being sent to experts to identify the Executive Committee (XCOM) Members.
