Standards and Innovation
• First step: development of a repository of papers on "standards and innovation" containing studies and description of initiatives
• To be followed by (actions considered):
Overview of research and development centers, "think tanks" or institutes that cover research themes already connected with standards projects or with promising potential
Focus on innovative technologies that support sustainable development
Good practice guide on building effective linkages between National Standards Bodies and Research Institutes. The guide could highlight success stories, checklists, and advantages of connecting with R&D at an earlier stage in standardization
