The INSTAR factsheets are concise, visually engaging documents designed to present the priorities for international collaboration identified by the European Task Forces (ETFs) in an easy-to-digest format. These factsheets serve as a practical reference for the INSTAR stakeholders (EU and International Policymakers, EU-Funded projects, SDOs, and Industrial Players) summarising the European standardisation priorities identified by the INSTAR ETFs. The primary goal of the factsheets is to ensure that all INSTAR stakeholders have a shared understanding of Europe’s strategic direction in standardisation. By outlining specific actionable priorities, these factsheets support informed decision-making and foster collaboration within and beyond Europe, aligning efforts to build a competitive and interoperable digital ecosystem. The factsheets share a common introductory section across all ETFs, providing consistent context and background information on their objectives and scope. In this initial version, the primary differentiating factor among the various factsheets lies in the specific standardisation priorities set by each INSTAR ETFs.
