Join us for the INSTAR Final Event on 23 June 2026, 15:30-18:00, held at the AFNOR venue in Paris. This session will be co-located with the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 41 Internet of things and digital twin plenary.

During the final event, INSTAR will present concrete examples of impact achieved through international cooperation on standardisation priorities alignment with its target regions (Canada, Japan, Singapore, Republic of Korea, and Taiwan) across its six Task Force technology domains. The event will also highlight how the European Commission and European Standardisation Organisations can leverage these results to enrich their activities, and outline INSTAR’s plan to valorise the outcomes beyond the project’s lifetime.

The event takes place alongside the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 41 Internet of things and digital twin plenary, which is particularly relevant as SC 41 covers one of the key ICT domains addressed by INSTAR’s Cloud/Edge/IoT Task Force.

In addition, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 41’s secretariat is provided by the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS) of the Republic of Korea. As the Republic of Korea is one of INSTAR’s target regions, where the project has built strong international cooperation on standardisation. Co-locating the INSTAR final event with ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 41 ensures visibility of INSTAR's impact on a broad audience of international standardisation experts.

The event will be hosted at AFNOR (Association Française de Normalisation). AFNOR is France’s national standards organisation and an active international member body of ISO; the AFNOR Group also provides certification, training and support services to stakeholders across sectors, making the venue well suited to an event focused on standards, interoperability and sustainability.
