Today, 29. February at 18:00 CET : Session 2: The AI Act
Location: https://meet.leadingbit.cloud/rooms/9cp-xb1-fb3-zbl/join
Feel free to invite colleagues and friends who might be interested in
the event series.
This webinar series is organised under the umbrella of StandICT.eu 2026.
The OFE Lounge 2024 seeks to bridge standardisation and open source
organisations, creating a platform to discuss the changing dynamics of
software development and ICT standardisation. Drawing from previous
iterations of the OFE Lounge Series, as well as studies such as the
JRC’s “The Relationship Between Open Source Software and Standard
Setting” and OFE’s study “Standardisation and Open Source – Bringing
them together” for the European Commission, this series aims to
facilitate knowledge transfer between significant open source and
standardisation entities, as well as the European Commission. For this
iteration of the series, we will focus on the standardisation activities
following new EU regulation with implications for software development,
such as the Cyber Resilience Act and the AI Act.
All sessions will adhere to the Chatham House Rule.
Format
The webinar series initiates on 22 February, at 18:00 CET, and spans
over five weeks, culminating with a comprehensive wrap-up workshop. Each
session will last 60 minutes and start with 2 individual 15-minute
presentations by representative stakeholder organisations, putting
forward their ideas on the role of open source in standardisation, and
standardisation for open source, followed by a roughly 30-minute
moderated Q&A. The last wrap-up workshop will last 2.5 hours.
The series schedule and session descriptions are as follows:
22 February at 18:00 CET - Session 1: Kick-off session
This initial session sets the stage for discussions on the
regulatory landscape affecting software and the critical role of
standardisation. It will cover complexities in software and software
supply chains, challenges posed by the AI Act and CRA negotiations
related to open source software (OSS), and the needs and expectations of
policymakers.
29 February at 18:00 CET - Session 2: The AI Act
An exploration of the AI Act and its implications for
standardisation and open source, focusing on the ethics of AI and the
significant role standards play in this evolving field.
7 March at 18:00 CET - Session 3: The Cyber Resilience Act
This session will delve into the CRA, discussing the new
requirements it introduces, guidance for compliance, and the
perspectives of open source communities and standardisation bodies on
what is needed from CRA standards in the software domain.
14 March at 18:00 CET - Session 4: To be announced
21 March at 16:30 CET - Session 5: Workshop to Conclude the Series
A concluding workshop designed to bring together insights from the
previous sessions. It aims to facilitate engaging discussions on
stakeholder perspectives, the EC Strategy on OSS, the EU Standardisation
strategy, procurement perspectives, industry groups, and findings from
the latest research.
