<br>annual Conference in Rome, Italy. The CfP is enclosed below, the 
<br>submission deadline is 15 February. So you might want to start writing 
<br>that ultimate paper now ......

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>24th EURAS Annual Standardisation Conference
<br>
<br>- Standards for a Bio-Based Economy -
<br>
<br>13 –-15 June 2019
<br>Rome, Italy
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Organised by
<br>
<br>The European Academy for Standardisation (EURAS)
<br>Unitelma Sapienza – Bioeconomy in Transition Research Group (BiT-RG)
<br>STAR-ProBio (H2020 RIA programme – grant agreement no. 727740)
<br>Chair of Innovation Economics – Technische Universität Berlin
<br>
<br>Hosted by
<br>LUISS Guido Carli University of Rome
<br>
<br>
<br>Governments and companies across Europe and worldwide are confronted 
<br>with depletion of natural resources due to, among others, their 
<br>unsustainable use, increased global competitiveness, increasing 
<br>population, and other challenging environmental and economic issues. 
<br>Promoting the sustainable growth of dynamic bio-economy sectors will 
<br>contribute to an innovative, resource efficient and competitive society 
<br>in transition from a fossil fuel-based society to a bio-based one. 
<br>Bio-based products represent a great opportunity to reconcile 
<br>sustainable long-term growth with environmental protection through the 
<br>prudent use of renewable resources for industrial purposes. However, 
<br>managing those resources in a sustainable manner implies facing major 
<br>challenges. In this context, sustainability schemes and standards play a 
<br>key role in ensuring a clear and evidence-based view of environmental, 
<br>economic and social impacts. Sustainability assessment schemes are 
<br>crucial for the development, implementation and management of effective 
<br>regulatory frameworks incorporating the principle of the circular 
<br>economy, with a focus on end-of-life and after use analysis.
<br>EURAS 2019 solicits papers on the above theme. However, papers on other 
<br>standardisation topics will also be considered. Sample topics include:
<br>-           Standards for sustainability.
<br>-           Green standards and certificates.
<br>-           Standards and regulation for bio-based products.
<br>-           Standardisation and Europe's research and innovation agenda.
<br>-           Standards as policy tools.
<br>-           National or international policy and standardisation.
<br>-           Standardisation of converging technologies.
<br>-           Smart standardisation.
<br>-           Standardisation roadmaps.
<br>-           Standardisation and Open Source.
<br>-           Standards and barriers to trade.
<br>-           Standards as a driver for innovation.
<br>-           Relation between standardisation and legislation.
<br>-           Standardisation and quality infrastructure.

<br>-           Legal aspects of standardisation.
<br>-           Standards and knowledge transfer.

<br>-           Standardisation and entrepreneurship.
<br>-           The impacts of standards and standardisation.
<br>-           Quality of standards.

<br>-           Role of industry and their associations in standardisation.

<br>-           Standardisation via industry consortia.
<br>-           History of standardisation.
<br>-           Standardisation processes.
<br>-           Standards and digitalisation.

<br>All papers will be double blind reviewed by members of the Technical 
<br>Programme Committee. All accepted papers will be published in the
