Workshop on Cross-Domain Standardisation and Architecture for IoT and Edge Computing

The European Commission, with support of European projects, is organising a workshop to explore gaps in standardisation across different domains and engage relevant industry stakeholders.

This workshop will examine the EU’s role in international standardisation efforts and foster collaboration between ongoing IoT and edge computing projects. Participants will also engage in roadmap development, aimed at creating a common approach to standardisation in emerging technologies. Key standardisation committees and initiatives, such as ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 41 (SC41) and SAREF (the Smart Applications REFerence ontology), will lead discussions focused on streamlining standardisation efforts across projects.

This hybrid event (in-person and online participation) will bring together a diverse group of representatives from edge computing projects, international and EU standardisation bodies, industry, policy makers, regulators, academia, and research institutions. Over the course of two days, participants will explore the international dimensions of standardisation, assess the EU’s role and seek deeper engagement opportunities. The workshop will emphasise cross-sector collaboration, identifying gaps and sharing insights from ongoing projects to pave the way for a more unified standardisation framework.
