One of the main goals of CYBERSTAND.eu is providing € 1,500,000 to support contributions to the development of harmonised standards for the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) - as requested in the CRA Standardisation Request.
After one year from the project's beginning, seven funding cycles have already been implemented - onboarding +50 experts and allocating +800.000€.
These contributions to CRA standards have represented the initial step of our funding path - many experts have been onboarded and funded, but, at the same time, many questions and doubts have been arisen by applicants:
- What can be considered a concrete contribution to the CRA standardisation request?
- Which standards will have to be prioritised?
- What is the work programme of the upcoming months in the drafting of harmonised standards?
- What can be considered as a "contribution to the drafting and consensus of horizontal and vertical standards"?
With these series of webinars, CYBERSTAND.eu aims at addressing these issues with a clear explanation of:
- The CRA priorities for the upcoming SSPs
- The type of contributions requested by applicants
- The main deliverables that ETSI and CEN-CENELEC are implementing in the Joint Work Programme
- How to register and submit an application on the CYBERSTAND.eu Platform
- How to apply as an individual and how to apply as a company
- How to draft reports on the funded activities during the monitoring phase
Are you interested in submitting an application - but have doubts on how to concretely contribute to the drafting of harmonised standards for the CRA?
Join us on Wednesday, the 23rd of July at 10:00 CEST - and learn how to submit a winning application to CYBERSTAND.eu 8th Specific Service Procedure!
