Various developments take place quickly in today's society, resulting in grand innovations. For example, with the ongoing convergence of industries, technologies originating from multiple sectors can be connected in complex, innovative systems, such as smart cities and e-health applications. When these complex, innovative systems reach their full functionality, we may partly solve the grand challenges of our time (such as realising the energy transition, coping with vulnerabilities of ICT systems and facilitating (health)care for the aging population). These complex innovative systems are (together with innovation ecosystems and values) part of socio-technical systems (STSs). Co-ordination should be achieved within these socio-technical systems to accomplish these innovative systems. This refers to co-ordination between technological system components, within the innovation ecosystems, and between values. Stakeholders involved in the STSs may use ‘comprehensive standardisation’, defined as co-ordination accomplished between system components, actors in an innovation ecosystem and (possibly conflicting) values.

The main question that the conference addresses is how standardisation can help design and optimize complex innovation systems to address some of the most pressing grand challenges of our time. We are especially interested in the implications for policy makers and managers.

Against this background, EURAS 2024 solicits papers on the above theme or elements thereof. However, articles on other standardisation topics will also be considered. Sample topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Standardisation for societal challenges
  • The role of standards and patents
  • Market, system and transition failures in STSs and the role of standardisation
  • Cooperation and cultural challenges in STSs and the role of standardisation principles
  • Stakeholder involvement in STSs and standardisation
  • Standardisation strategies and roadmaps in STSs
  • Standards battles, dominant designs, and platform wars
  • Standardisation and the United Nations' SDGs
  • Economic and/or societal impact of standards
  • Stimulating innovations through standardisation
  • Responsible standardisation
  • Systems approach to standardisation
  • Standardisation roadmaps
  • Pre-normative research
  • Combinations of modes of standardisation in STSs
  • Standardisation and entrepreneurship
  • Strategic aspects of  standardization in STSs
  • Legislation and standardisation
  • Standardisation and geopolitics
  • Success factors of standardisation in STSs
  • The tensions between globalisation and localisation
  • Standardisation and EU-policy
  • Public policy concerning the role of standardisation and conformity assessment
  • Aligning standardisation initiatives at the national, regional or international level
  • Standardization and international regulatory cooperation
  • Managing standardisation at different levels
  • Adoption/implementation of standards
  • History and evolution of standardisation
  • Standardisation processes
  • Standardization and sustainability
  • Role of first, second and third party conformity assessment in assuring conformance to standards
  • Role and positioning of standardisation within the quality infrastructure
  • The influence of external developments on standardization methods and techniques
  • Complementary roles of private conformity assessment and governmental inspection
 
Submissions
We welcome two types of submissions:
  • Full research papers (up to 20 single-spaced pages);
  • Practitioners’ papers (up to 4 single-spaced pages).
Submissions should be formatted according to the guidelines, available at
Please submit your paper as .pdf files via EasyChair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=euras2024
(to be able to do so an EasyChair account will be required).
All papers will be double-blind reviewed by members of the Technical Programme Committee. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, as part of the ‘EURAS Contributions to Standardisation Research’ book series. Particularly good and relevant papers will be fast-tracked for a special issue of the Journal on Standardisation (subject to the authors’ approval).
