SUMMARY:From Standards to Practice: Closing ASEAN's AI Competence Gap - the EU e-Competence Framework and the Philippines' National Implementation Experience
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of our second open call beneficiary\, OpenNexus Consulting\, we are pleased to invite you to the second workshop in their series\, “Promoting EU ICT Standards in ASEAN\,” focusing this time on the approach of standardisation for AI competences. \nInDiCo-Global is a global initiative funded under Horizon Europe\, the EU programme for research and innovation (Grant Agreement No. 101136022). It aims to build bridges between technical communities and policy makers on topics relating to digital policies and ICT standardisation. Through their project\, OpenNexus Consulting operationalises this aim in ASEAN\, bringing together senior regulators and policymakers from the ASEAN-6 economies alongside EU institutional representatives to strengthen the capacity of ASEAN governments and regulators to adopt key European ICT and AI standards. \nDate: Monday\, 28 September 2026\nTime: 4:00 PM Singapore Time (SGT\, UTC+8)\nDuration: 1 hour\nPlatform: Microsoft Teams (virtual) \nThe first workshop\, held in May at the Singapore University of Technology and Design\, found that ASEAN and EU principles on AI governance broadly align\, but that translating that alignment into practice remains a significant institutional and human capacity challenge. Workshop 2 addresses this directly\, pairing the European standards perspective with a concrete national implementation case. \nList of speakers: \n\nMs Wanda Sabeel\, member of the European Technical Committee on “ICT professionalism and Digital competences” (CEN TC428)\, who led the work leading to the “Agreement on AI Professional Role Profiles and Education Profiles”\, will introduce the competence-framework standard underpinning AI workforce readiness in Europe.\nAssistant Secretary Celine Dee\, Office for Strategic Initiatives and Industry and Competency\, Department of ICT\, Philippines\, will share how the Philippines is translating this thinking into national workforce policy and practice.\n\nThe session will include live polling and an open discussion between speakers and participants\, with outputs feeding directly into the project’s Digital Skills Alignment Guide.

SUMMARY:CEN and ETSI workshop on EU Digital Framework centring on the EU Identity Wallet
DESCRIPTION:Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 amending Regulation (EU) 910/2014 on electronic identities\, authentication and signatures (eIDAS 2) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union this spring 2024. This amendment established an ambitious European Digital Identity Framework including EU Digital Identity Wallets (EUDIW) which provides a means of identification across Europe. This will bring about a major transformation of security of the European digital infrastructure facilitating cross border transactions and supporting seamless access to financial\, governmental and commercial services across Europe with a high level of accountability. \nThe EUDIW now are now being implemented and tested by EU nations ready to go live by end of 2026. Also\, use of the EUDIW is already being trialled for a range of large-scale pilot applications for governmental services businesses\, banking\, vehicle registration and travel. \nCEN and ETSI have been working together with the EC in 2025 to provide an initial set of standards and specifications for implementations of the EUDIW. These standards are now being refined and extended to ensure a high level of security\, with interoperability between all national EUDIW implementations and their usage by the EU digital infrastructure. The workshop will present the set of existing standards for the EUDIW and ongoing work in refining and extending these standards. \nWho should join?\nThe workshop will be of direct interest to all those concerned with ensuring a secure digital infrastructure across Europe including regulators\, providers of mobile identity solutions\, manufacturers of secure elements / smart devices\, trust service providers\, application and secure solution providers. \nWhy attending?\nThe CEN and ETSI standards underpinning the EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDIW) will have a major impact on the European market which solution providers need to be aware of to keep up with changing environment. The workshop will provide the opportunity understand the standardisation being applied to the EUDIW and interact with the leading experts working on this standardisation.

SUMMARY:EU-China Workshop on E-Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:As the rapid digitisation of economic\, social\, and public life accelerates globally\, the accessibility of digital products\, services\, and hardware has become central to managing daily life and essential for human interaction. Concurrently\, demographic shifts (including an aging global population) and an increasing awareness of accessibility needs highlight the necessity for inclusive digital environments. Digital accessibility is essential for ensuring full\, equal\, and independent participation in society for persons with disabilities and functional limitations.  \nIn Europe\, this commitment is reinforced through comprehensive legislative and technical frameworks\, notably the European Accessibility Act (Directive 2019/882) and harmonised standards such as EN 301 549 on Accessibility requirements for ICT products and services. Similarly\, China’s evolving technical standardisation and regulatory landscape increasingly aims at mandating digital inclusion\, barrier-free environments\, and user-centric technology design.   \nWithin the framework of the EU-funded InDiCo-Global project\, bridging technical communities\, standards development organisations\, and policymakers is key to advancing human-centric digital technology. As both regions navigate complex technological developments\, international cooperation and technical knowledge exchange are essential to increase awareness and drive global standards for e-accessibility.  \nPurpose of the Webinar \nThis workshop will highlight experiences from the EU and China\, two of the world’s largest economies representing distinct regulatory contexts. The event aims to foster dialogue and exchange between European and Chinese stakeholders on the development and implementation of technical standards and KPIs for e-accessibility. Bringing​​ together representatives from standards organisations\, industry\, technical communities\, and public authorities\, the workshop will explore the most relevant developments in regulatory frameworks and technical standardisation efforts in both Europe and China.  \nBy strengthening mutual understanding and exploring opportunities for future EU-China cooperation in digital accessibility\, the workshop aims to raise awareness of the European Accessibility Act and supporting standardisation work in Europe through the revision of EN 301 549. Furthermore\, it seeks to broaden the global adoption of EN 301 549\, encouraging more countries to support its adoption as an international standard.   \nObjectives \nThe webinar will pursue the following objectives:  \n\nStrengthen mutual understanding of respective models for setting globally interoperable ICT and digital standards for e-accessibility\, highlighting experiences and regulatory policies from the EU and China. \nFacilitate knowledge exchange on best practices\, policy initiatives\, legislative developments\, and technical approaches to e-accessibility\, exploring in particular how the European Accessibility Act and Chinese legislation address digital accessibility requirements. \nIncrease understanding of China’s standardisation landscape\, recent trends in accessibility and disability\, and capacity building in digital standardisation. \nPromote awareness of the European Accessibility Act and supporting European standardisation work through the revision and structure of the harmonised standard EN 301 549 (developed by ETSI\, CEN\, and CENELEC). \nPromote the global adoption of EN 301 549\, highlighting perspectives on its implementation and positioning it as a baseline for an international standard. \nEncourage dialogue among policymakers\, technical experts\, civil society organisations\, and private sector stakeholders on global approaches to digital accessibility\, highlighting key challenges in the development\, implementation\, and adoption of accessibility standards. \nIdentify potential opportunities for cooperation and alignment between European Standardisation Organisations (ESOs) and Chinese counterparts to support global e-accessibility standards. \nStrengthen EU outreach in Southern Asia with regards to standardisation work. \n\n Agenda \n  \n\n\n\n9:00 – 09:05 CET  \n16:00 – 16:05 Beijing Time\nIntroduction: \nWelcome remarks\, Martin Chatel (ETSI)\, Eugenia Kypriotis (Martel Innovate)\nEvent Moderator: Xavier Piednoir (ETSI)\n\n\n\n09:05 – 10:05 CET  \n16:05 – 17:05 Beijing Time \nSession 1:  Update on policy and regulatory initiatives in support of E-accessibility in Europe and China  \nSession Speakers: Ms. Wang Li (CAICT)\, Ms. Eris Chen (TÜV Rheinland)\, Ms. Qu Xin (Special Education College\, Beijing Union University)\, Alejandro Moledo (European Disability Forum) and Inmaculada Placencia Porrero (Independent Accessibility and Disability Policy Expert)\n\n\n\n10:05 – 11:05 CET \n17:05 – 18:05 Beijing Time \nSession 2:  Translating Policy and Regulations into technical standards  \nSession Speakers: Susanna Laurin (Chair\, CEN/CENELEC/ETSI JTB on e-Accessibility)\, Ulrike Haltrich (Chair\, ETSI TC HF)\, Shadi Abou-Zahra (Expert\, ETSI TC HF)\, Mr. Wang Wei (Zhejiang University) and Mr. Wang Yazhong (vivo Mobile Communication Co.\, Ltd).\n\n\n11:05 – 11:50 CET \n18:05 – 18:50 Beijing Time \nPanel discussion \nModerator: Xavier Piednoir (ETSI)\n\n\n11:50 – 12.00 CET \n18:50 – 19:00 Beijing Time  \nConclusion & Closing remarks \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Exchanging and Protecting Personal Data in a Globalised World
DESCRIPTION:The rapid digitisation of economic and social life has made the cross-border exchange of personal data a central element of global cooperation\, trade\, and innovation. At the same time\, repeated cases of misuse of personal data across the world – affecting both citizens and high-profile personalities – have strengthened awareness that personal data protection is a fundamental human right. In Europe\, this principle is firmly embedded in law and practice through the EU’s comprehensive data protection framework\, most prominently the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).  \nThe EU data protection framework is widely regarded as one of the most comprehensive regulatory models and is frequently used as a reference by policymakers and regulators worldwide. Many countries are currently developing or adapting their own legal frameworks for data protection\, often drawing inspiration from aspects of the EU model. Nevertheless\, the importance attributed to personal data protection varies across jurisdictions\, reflecting different legal traditions\, economic priorities\, and governance structures.  \nIn a globalised digital economy where data flows transcend borders\, broader cooperation and knowledge exchange are essential to ensure trusted and secure international data transfers.  \nPurpose of the Webinar \nThis webinar aims to strengthen international dialogue on personal data protection by bringing together experts and stakeholders from Europe and key partner countries to discuss the evolving global landscape of data governance.  \nThe webinar will contribute to increasing awareness of the EU personal data protection framework and its relevance for international data flows. At the same time\, it will create a platform for mutual learning by highlighting policy developments\, regulatory initiatives\, and best practices emerging in partner countries.  \nThe discussion will focus in particular on Serbia\, India\, Tunisia\, and Kenya\, offering a comparative perspective across different regions and regulatory environments.  \nObjectives \nThe webinar will pursue the following objectives:  \n\nStrengthen understanding of the importance of personal data protection for international data flows and digital trade. \nPromote awareness of the EU personal data protection legal framework and its global relevance. \nFacilitate exchange of knowledge on best practices\, policy initiatives\, and legislative developments in Serbia\, Tunisia\, Kenya\, and India.\nEncourage dialogue among policymakers\, experts\, civil society organisations\, and private sector stakeholders on global approaches to data governance. \nIdentify opportunities for cooperation and alignment to support trusted cross-border data exchanges.\n\nAgenda\nDuration: 90 minutes  \n\n\n\n09:00 – 09:05 CET\nWelcome and Opening Remarks\nModerator: Anna Aseva (Martel Innovate)\n\n\n\n09:05 – 09:15 CET\nThe EU Personal Data Protection Framework in a Global Context\nAnna Aseeva (Martel Innovate) \nThe presentation will explore key principles of the EU data protection framework and the GDPR; the role of data protection in enabling trusted international data flows; and the EU model as a global reference point.\n\n\n09:15 – 09:55 CET\nNational Perspectives and Regulatory Developments\nIrena Milobratovic (Regulatory Expert & Advisor)\nKamel Rezgui (Public & Digital Law Expert)\nJohn Walubengo (ICT Governance\, Security\, Policy & Strategy Expert)\nAjai Garg (Consultant on Global Trade\, Policy & Compliance for Digital Technologies) \nThe presentations will dive into national data protection frameworks from Serbia\, Tunisia\, Kenya\, and India. \n\n\n09:55 – 10:25 CET\nPanel Discussion: Aligning Data Protection Approaches in a Globalised Digital Economy\nModerated discussion with speakers \nThe panel discussion will cover key challenges for cross-border data flows; convergences and differences in regulatory approaches; and opportunities for cooperation between regions. \n\n\n10:25 – 10:30 CET  \nClosing Remarks\nAnna Aseeva (Martel Innovate)\n\n\n\n
