We are excited to announce the second webinar in the INSTAR series, titled "INSTAR Roadmaps: Mapping future priority topics with our European Task Forces." This event is designed to offer invaluable perspectives drawn from the work of INSTAR's European Task Forces, particularly tailored to those involved in shaping international standards and policies within the ICT landscape.

As the global drive for digital transformation intensifies, the role of standards development organisations (SDOs) and policymakers becomes more critical than ever. This webinar will present the latest developments in INSTAR's roadmap, aimed at fostering alignment and collaboration across international standardisation efforts. Participants will gain insights into how these roadmaps can guide the priorities of SDOs, facilitate policymaking, and enhance engagement with international experts to ensure the global success of emerging technologies.

Following a comprehensive introduction by the project coordinator, and a few words on the priorities highlighted by the European Commission, an introduction to the INSTAR roadmaps followed by a panel discussion with our European Task Forces members will give you a deeper insight on the INSTAR ETFs roadmaps recommendations for SDOs, Policymakers, and International Standardisation Experts to achieve international standardisation priorities alignment. 

Join us for a comprehensive overview of INSTAR’s mission, key recommendations from the European Task Forces, and a chance to engage with thought leaders who are steering the future of standardisation across sectors. Whether you're a policymaker, an SDO, or an expert in international standards, this event will provide you with practical guidance and opportunities to engage with the ongoing efforts of INSTAR.
