📢 Upcoming Roundtable: Solving the Standardisation Dilemma 📅 When: 22 October 2025, 16:30 – 18:30, followed by networking drinks (co-located with the Eclipse Foundation’s Code & Compliance conference). 📍 Where: Maison de la Poste, Rue Picard 7, Brussels Europe’s digital policy agenda has expanded rapidly, with legislation such as the Cyber Resilience Act and the AI Act creating new demands for harmonised standards. This raises a central question: How can the European Standardisation System move fast enough to meet policy and market needs, while ensuring inclusive processes that reflect diverse expertise? The roundtable will explore how openness, as practised in collaborative innovation models like open source development, can offer a way forward—helping the ESS remain both agile and fit for purpose in a software-driven economy. Speakers include: Problem Statement Presentation 🔹Sachiko Muto, Chair, OpenForum Europe Solutions Panel 🔹Andreea Gulacsi, Director of Policy and External Affairs, CEN and CENELEC 🔹Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director, Eclipse Foundation 🔹Guillaume Roty, Head of Unit GROW H.3, European Commission 🔹Jochen Friedrich, Technical Relations Executive, IBM We look forward to a timely discussion under Chatham House Rule on how openness can strengthen Europe’s standardisation framework, and by extension, its global competitiveness and digital sovereignty.

To support the Cyber Resilience Act (#CRA) implementation, the European Commission has issued a standardisation request to the European Standardization Organizations. Today, we're attending the Cyber Resilience Act and Horizontal Standards Workshop at UNE - Asociación Española de Normalización in Madrid, to gain insights into how standards can effectively mitigate risks, enhance the cybersecurity posture, and ensure that products and services are aligned with the legal expectations set forth by the CRA. Javier Garcia Diaz, General Director at UNE, kicked off today's workshop. Stay updated! #ORCWG #CyberResilience #standards
