Description
This funding opportunity is part of the ICT Standardisation Observatory and Support Facility in Europe project. It aims to enhance Europe’s role in international ICT standardisation by enabling European specialists to actively participate in the work of global Standards Development Organisations (SDOs). Through a series of open calls (six in total), StandICT.eu will provide direct financial support for contributions to standards development, including activities such as working group participation, document drafting, and attending meetings as observers or members.
Both long-term and short-term fellowships are available to support a range of standardisation activities, such as serving as a chair, convener, rapporteur, or active member of an SDO working group.
