STAND4EU addressed four main technological domains: Additive Manufacturing
(enabling technology), Welding (conventional well-established process),
Smart Manufacturing, Industry 4.0, Digitalization,
Artificial Intelligence (technology-oriented), and Circular Economy.
Moreover, three transversal and cross-cutting aspects to these four domains
were also addressed to ensure a wider impact and assess the societal benefits
brought by: Humans in Industry & Social Sustainability, Environmental Sustainability,
and Agility & Resilience. Adding to this, the excellence of the proposed coordination
action was based on the following facts:
- The action was performed by researchers and research managers who were directly involved in standardisation work;
- The methodology was based on past and ongoing work carried out by research and innovation performers and standardisation organisations;
- The content of the work focused on a set of key industrial enabling technologies, as well as key societal targets, while also ensuring that the methodology could be applied across an even broader range of industrial technologies and societal impact areas.
