Horizon 2020 and standardization

In COM/2011/0808 final “Horizon 2020 - The Framework Programme for Research and Innovation”: “Stronger support will be given to the market take-up of innovation,

including by the public sector. This will include more proof-of-concept, piloting and demonstration. It will involve a better use of the potential of research infrastructures, as well as setting technical standards, pre-commercial procurement and strengthened loan and equity financing.”

Pillar 2 - Industrial leadership

3 Specific objectives:

Strategic investments in key technologies (e.g. advanced manufacturing, micro-electronics) underpin innovation across existing and emerging sectors ‘Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies’ shall follow a technology-

driven approach to develop enabling technologies that can be used in multiple areas, industries and services. Applications of these technologies to meet societal challenges shall be supported together with the Societal challenges.

Europe needs to attract more private investment in research and innovation

Europe needs more innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to create growth and jobs

Pillar 3 – Societal Challenges

Objectives:

Concerns of citizens and society/EU policy objectives (climate, environment, energy, transport, etc) cannot be achieved without innovation

Challenge driven – without predetermining the precise choice of technologies or solutions that should be developed

Multi-disciplinary collaborations Promising solutions need to be tested, demonstrated and

scaled up Activities to cover the full cycle from research to market

Standards in Societal challenges

Standards are present in a large number of calls in all challenges

Appear mainly in the Scope and Expected impact However in some cases it can appear directly in the

challenge to be addressed E.g. "need for the development, validation and pre- as

well as co-normative activities followed by the standardization of a method for the assessment of the organoleptic characteristics based on the existing methods"

Horizon 2020 – calls (2013/12) extracts SPIRE-04-2014: Methodologies, tools and indicators for cross-sectorial sustainability assessment of energy and resource efficient solutions in the process industry

Scope: Strategies should be proposed to work with value chain partners, public authorities and final users, in particular to meet expectations in terms of relevant sustainability assessment (e.g. standards, labelling), and create a broad range of options to raise awareness levels and understanding of sustainability.

Collaboration with standardisation bodies should be addressed.

BG-06-2014: Delivering the sub-sea technologies for new services at sea

Scope: Where relevant, activities should cover the development of European standards.

EeB-01-2014: Materials for building envelope

Scope: Standardisation aspects can be considered particularly in relation with the work carried out in CEN/TC 350.

NMP-06-2015: Novel nanomatrices and nanocapsules

Scope: Safety considerations and contribution to standardization should be an integral part of the projects.

Expected impact: Identification of gaps in standards, paving the way for future pre-normative activities in the field.

© CEN-CENELEC 2014 - 22

Standardisation funding

Support can go to participation in the Technical Committee of an existing European standard with the goal of injecting innovative elements in the standard

Funding will be provided to finance preparatory and accompanying work for developing new standardization deliverables, or project and/or independent experts' participation in a technical committee's work

A “Liaison” can be financed as part of the project allowing for a representative of the project to participate in meetings of the relevant Technical Committee and contribute to the work

What can standardization bring to a R&I project? Give you access to the state of the art Ensure comparability of your results with what is already

on the market Help you comply with health and safety legislation or

other regulatory requirements Support you in making your results available to a wide

range of companies and research organizations Give you access to discuss and promote your project

outcomes with stakeholders and potential customers Ensure that the project results are used by the market

well beyond the duration of your project

© CEN-CENELEC 2014 - 28

How can link with standardization be ensured?

Don’t’s Only our Members can join a consortium (see CEN-

CENELEC Participation policy), as a project partner or as a subcontractor

Project Advisory Board: never CCMC, but possible is TC chair, TC secretary or a TC expert; funding?

Do’s A work package leading to a standardization deliverable A project liaison with a TC (CEN-CLC Guide 25) Partners to join the TC’s national mirror

group Make contact with a NSB/NC at earliest

possible stage

© CEN-CENELEC 2014 - 29

A work package in the proposal to produce a standardization deliverable? The support a CEN or CENELEC member gives to the standardization process as part of a research project can be broken down into: Step 1 – Analysis of standardization potential (state of the art,

overview etc) Step 2 – Identification of gaps and proposal for new

standardization work (input to existing work, new standards, roadmaps etc)

Step 3 – Links with ongoing standardization (Liaison Organization if applicable)

Step 4 – Guidance on the general standardization process Step 5 – Publication of the final deliverable (note: CEN-CENELEC

keep copyright!) Note: the Research Project needs to ensure the necessary funding (e.g. for a Workshop secretariat; a liaison) is included in the budget (in addition to person-days)
