Standards are all around us: from measuring the speed of our Internet connection to assessing the energy performance of our homes. Researchers at SnT use their expertise to advance technical standardisation. They have been nurturing a long-term collaboration with ILNAS \u2013 the Luxembourg Institute of Standardisation, Accreditation, Safety and Quality of Products and Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTechnical standardisation has a positive impact on every aspect of our daily lives, from providing a framework ensuring the interoperability of existing technologies to supporting innovation,\u201d says Gr\u00e9goire Danoy<\/a>. The scientist currently leads a research programme with ILNAS entitled \u2018Technical Standardisation for Trustworthy ICT, Aerospace and Construction\u2019. Their work aims to deepen data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This unique programme is a real win-win for research and technical standardisation. Danoy explains: \u201cOn the one hand, researchers have direct access to current and future standards by participating in European and international standardisation committees linked to their field of research. This allows them to incorporate these standards into their work and identify new opportunities for scientific or even technology transfer collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, their research results might also influence or be incorporated into future standards, which in turn will facilitate the adoption of emerging technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collaboration between SnT and ILNAS began in 2017 and is set to continue for a third research programme scheduled to run from 2025 to 2028. Its content is currently being finalised, but it should focus on sustainability applied to the growth sectors of Luxembourg\u2019s economy, which are ICT, aerospace and construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These themes are at the heart of the World Standards Day organised on 15 October at the Maison de la Biom\u00e9decine II in Belval. A Technical Report will be released on this day and will include the latest developments in this partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year, World Standards Day highlights the importance of international standards drawn up by experts from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gr\u00e9goire Danoy is a research scientist and head of the Parallel Computing and Optimisation Group (PCOG) at SnT. His team is focused on high performance computing (HPC) and new generations of artificial intelligence algorithms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
