Standardisation and the collaboration with technical committees are important aspects for JRC experts to disseminate pre-normative research outputs. The collaboration may not only result in knowledge exchange of the produced research results, but may contribute to the capacity to deliver scientific advice to other Commission services and the drafting of the Annual Union Work Plan for standardisation. Activities can be summarised in three main categories. Firstly, in strengthening the linkage between research and innovation with standardisation, which was reinforced by the Joint Initiative on Standardisation, by the workshop series Putting-Science-into-Standards and through ad hoc inputs to EU policy areas and involvement in coordination platforms. Secondly, the collaboration facilitated the participation of JRC experts in technical committees of the European standardisation organisations. Thirdly, joint training and awareness-raising initiatives were organised and carried out to promote increased participation of researchers in standardisation activities. While strengthening current achievements, the capacity to anticipate standardisation needs, as well as international adoption of European norms are aspects that deserve more attention in future collaborations with CEN and CENELEC. }, title = {Linking research and innovation with standardisation. }, url = {}, doi = {10.2760/630783 (online)} }
