HSbooster.eu will provide a tailor-made online platform and resources for standardisation experts in Europe to advise 1,000 Horizon Europe and H2020 projects on how best their research results can lead to the revision or creation of standards. As experts, you will help projects assess the standardisation readiness of their results and guide them on how these results can feed into standardisation working groups or technical committees. Experts will provide consultancy services to projects on a set of standardisation priorities which are listed below.
The priorities have been selected based on the standardisation urgencies highlighted in the EU’s Strategy on Standardisation, call priorities in the EC’s funding programmes, active standardisation committees and relevant EU regulation, standardisation mandates, and standardisation requests from the Commission (SREQs). As HSbooster.eu evolves, we will be engaging with standardisation organisations and experts in these fields to validate and further refine or add to these priorities.
The priorities will form the basis of 5 open calls aimed at Horizon Europe and H2020 projects. The open calls will run for four-month periods from 21 June 2022 to 31 January 2024. You can find out more about the Open Calls for projects here.
