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

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

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
