and hosted by

Fraunhofer SIT, Darmstadt, Germany

November, 15-16, 2012

Throughout 2012, the harmonization task groups #1 (Security and Management Protocols) and #3 (Joint protocols for safety and sustainability services) created a series of reports that discuss the status of harmonization of ITS standardization activities between the EU and the US. Furthermore, the HTG gave recommendations for future directions of standardization activities. The main reports can be downloaded from here.
 
Together with the EU FP7 Project PRESERVE, the HTGs would now like to invite representatives from SDOs and other stakeholders, international experts, and other interested participants to discuss the outcomes of this work and the uptake of the results in the standardization process. Furthermore, the workshop will provide a platform for experts and stakeholders to meet and discuss the strategy and next steps. The two days will include presentations of HTG results, feedback from SDOs, and expert discussions.

Registration

Participation to the workshop is free of charge. However, the number of places is limited and they will be distributed on a first-come-first-serve-basis. So ensure to register quickly if you want to participate. Please follow this link for your registration.
