Description and Scope
Every year, the ICT Rolling Plan is developed and released with the support of the Multi-Stakeholder Platform on ICT Standardisation (MSP). The Rolling Plan plays a critical role in providing an overarching overview of standardisation activities in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the context of European legislation and policies as well as for understanding priorities for the Digital Single Market.
Every year the Rolling Plan is updated and extended to adequately reflect new EU policies and arising technologies with the support of an experienced group of individuals and contributions from policy members. (e.g. 4 new chapters were added in the 2019 edition).The most relevant domains are included as eHealth, Cloud Computing, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), Cybersecurity, Accessibility, Internet of Things, eGovernment, Smart grids and many others.
This Webinar will feature European Commission representatives from the ICT Sector for Standardisation, Policy Officers and personalities that actively contributed to the creation of the new 2020 Rolling Plan (as the MSP Chairman).
The main objectives of the Webinar will be:
- Provide an explanation of the overall structure and function of the Rolling Plan.
- Introduce new items and technological domains tackled in the coming release.
- Demonstrate how a proper definition of ICT Standards can enable industry to optimise its production, support consumers to make better informed decisions and helps public services to offer better digital and efficient services to citizens.
- Show how StandICT.eu reflected and monitored the Rolling Plan’s priority areas.
