Meet the industry to understand the relevance of your research (reality check)

Disseminate and exploit research results • Present and discuss your research results

• Improve existing standardised technologies

• Propose alternative technologies

• Anchor a patent as essential IPR in a standard

ETSI deliverables are maintained and therefore available to the public also in the future (beyond the closure of a research project)

What is in Standardization for a researcher?



Standards support innovation by providing an important basis for developing solutions: Essential for market uptake

Integrated Approach: mechanism to ensure standardization is integrated in research and innovation projects. It aims at:

— transfer research results and outcomes of innovation activities into standardization;

— raise awareness of the benefits of standardization in the research and innovation process;

— fully exploit the functions of standards for research and innovation activities in order to increase the competitiveness.


Research transforms money into knowhow - Innovation transforms knowhow into money

Technologies do not have a value per se - The value of a technology results from a business model

Return on Investment

• Commercialize IPR

• Bundle technologies into commercial offers (products and services)

• Build new services on top of standardized platforms (3GPP mobile Networks) e.g. OTT (Over-The-Top), oneM2M

ICT markets are global by its nature (communicate and exchange information with anyone, everything, everywhere, at any time)

Technology cycles are short

ICT is driving innovation in more and more sectors (e.g. smart transport, smart grid, smart cities, ...), cross-sector Standardization is a challenge

Technology convergence results in accelerated market segmentation and alternative solutions (e.g. POT vs smartphone, Skype vs RTCWeb, ...)

Shift in value chain, e.g. manufacturers operate networks

ICT sector is different


All ICT products implement standardized technologies (de-facto, de-jure,) from several Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs)

Standardization bodies serve as platforms for innovation-eco systems

A good Standard allows differentiation and thus competition

Trade-offs for ‘co-opetition’ • Proprietary versus standardized

• Control versus cooperation

• Risk assuming versus risk sharing

ICT standards are pervasive



Education about Standardization?

European Standards – evolution

The need to know about the benefits of standards

and standardization is greater than ever:

…Use and range of applications for standards is

increasing all the time.


Opportunities & needs….

Ever widening spectrum: More research & innovation outputs, evolving societal needs, sustainability initiatives and systems based thinking New emerging clusters: smart- (cities, grids, meters), eco- (innovation, labelling), e- (services, business, government) as well as services and systems Application of standards: 1o (technical and product specifications), then 2o (management systems and processes) and now 3o generation (values, principles and behaviours) and 5o generation in case of Wireless


Drivers for Education about Standardization (EaS)

1.Business needs – increasing competition, Globalisation, Consumer better informed

2.New stakeholders (SME) – knowledge gap

3.Research and innovation – marketization

4.Regulation – understand role of standards & laws: Role of regulators and Standards v/s Regulations

5.Sustainable system – maintain expert base


European response

• European Council ‘Conclusions on standardization and innovation (2008)’: Encourage MS to improve position in Education Program & academic curricula

• CEN-CENELEC - ETSI JWG on EaS (2010)

Participation: national standardization organizations and experts

Observers: European Commission, EFTA, ISO, IEC

Aim: get standardization into national education systems across Europe

• EC Communication on a Strategic vision for European Standards (2011): ESO’s to improve awareness and EaS


The overall aim

The aim of Education about

Standardization is to improve

knowledge and skills about standards

and standardization to make European

business more competitive,

sustainable and innovative

Main components of education about standardization (EaS)


Learning about standards

Science and engineering: test methods and procedures, standards are relevant for the development of new systems and technologies.

Design and architecture: standards incorporated into design and manufacture of products and construction of buildings.

Business and economics: standards enable products and services to be recognised and accepted in different national and international markets.

Management: standards for quality management and environmental management.

Law: standards in the context of legislation, contracts, IPR


Why standards are important for Engineers

(and for everyone else)


Engineers and standards

• Standards linked to scientific and technical disciplines and notably Engineering is evident

• Standards are foundation of Design, manufacturing, operation of products

• Engineering courses:

+ technical standards

+/_ Standards development

+/_ Characteristics of standardization systems

+/_ Standards development practices

0 Soft skills needs for standardizations


Entrepreneurs and standards

Improve efficiency - "Standards contribute to the economic efficiency of a company because through them they know exactly according to which principles they have to produce.“

Minimise waste & reduce costs

Spread innovative technologies - "Standards define a framework in which one can use creativity and flexibility in a targeted way.“
