European Standards Organisations answer "Yes" to the call for partnerships in Research and Innovation
The Communication recognizes the importance of standardization in strengthening the coherence of the European R&I landscape. CEN and CENELEC are committed to participate and support the Innovation Union in the future Partnerships on societal challenges. Research and Innovation Partnerships on societal challenges will benefit from standardization. These Partnerships are going to bring together all interested stakeholders to find common solutions to societal challenges such as climate change, energy and resource scarcity, health and ageing. These solutions will be vital for tomorrow’s Europe. That is why we have to ensure that they are safe, interoperable, shared and disseminated all over Europe. European Standards are the right tool to ensure that this takes place. Standardization provides a bridge between research and innovation, and is an essential key to bring research results closer to the market. Many EU research projects already take advantage of these opportunities and have integrated standardization in their activities. For example, in order to fight and mitigate climate change, we have to understand the soil on which we live better. The EU funded I-SOIL project is working on the interactions between soil related sciences. The project aims at developing, validating and evaluating necessary concepts and strategies for the transfer of measured physical parameter distribution into maps. Among the activities of I-SOIL is the development of a European Standard around a Best Practice Approach for electromagnetic induction measurements of the near surface. European Standards can help shorten the time to market for innovative new products and services. Through dedicated tools, including web pages and a Research Helpdesk, CEN and CENELEC are at the disposal of researchers and companies willing to ensure their project benefits from standardization.
