funding of €1.4 million, the StandICT.eu Open Calls offer a unique opportunity
to EU standards specialists to apply for grants to support various types of
contributions to ICT international and national standardisation activities. The
initiative aims to ensure that the EU plays a key role in making ICT services
and technologies interoperable, secure and benchmarked.

The 1st of 10 Open Calls targets standards specialists working on key ICT
standardisation priorities is open until the 29th May, midnight CEST. . To view

or longer term commitments such as contribution to standards documentation (e.g.
