Dear Ines, Can you share this with ENVRI-Board? I guess it is also relevant for our ENVRI-ONE proposal. One of my Deltares colleagues informed me of this Webinar. I guess it may be of interest to at least some of us. Kind regards, Jos Brils DANUBIUS-ERIC --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: EU webinar - EU Standardisation Strategy Importance: High Dear all, Please find below an invitation that I received - it may be of interest. Invitation: Dear colleague, We are pleased to invite you - identified via your scientific publications - to a series of six online webinars on various aspects of standardisation and particularly its relevance for research and innovation, taking place between 19 February and 26 March 2026, every Thursday morning from 9:00 to 10:00 CET. The webinar series is organised in the context of the EU Standardisation Strategy<https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_22_661> complemented by the Code of Practice on Standardisation in the European Research Area<https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32023H0498&qid=1678171117168>. In particular, it is one of the training pilots organized with the Horizon Europe performed Coordination and Support Action (CSA) EDU4Standards.eu<https://edu4standards.eu/>. It aims to strengthen the understanding and engagement of the research community-especially those working in Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) organized under the roof of the European Association of Research and Technology Organisations (EARTO)<https://www.earto.eu/>-in standardisation activities. Each session will provide a focused introduction to the topic, highlight practical examples, and offer space for discussion on how researchers can contribute to and benefit from standardisation considering European values and interests.
