ISQ promoting industrial symbioses and circular economy through the European I&D Project RISERS

RISERS (A Roadmap for Industrial Symbiosis Standardisation for Efficient Resource Sharing) is committed to guiding the standardisation of industrial symbiosis to enhance resource efficiency across Europe. This initiative, launched under the European Union’s Horizon Europe Programme, offers a solution to fill in standardisation gaps and address the significant barriers hindering the establishment of standards for efficient resource sharing. By collaborating with experts and practitioners from various sectors including industry, policy, academia, and standardisation bodies, conducting thorough mapping of the IS standardisation landscape and identification of opportunities for intra- and inter-sectoral synergies, RISERS will provide a comprehensive Roadmap that will steer IS standardisation efforts in Europe toward greater efficiency and sustainability.

The main mission is to establish clear pathways and actions aimed at developing essential standards conducive to high-impact synergies for Europe’s economy. RISERS is committed to facilitating a cohesive strategy for integrating Research and Innovation (R&I) into standardisation processes. Through collaborative efforts with stakeholders, we seek to develop a robust standardisation framework that enhances industrial symbiosis, fostering interoperability and compatibility. This streamlined approach optimises resource utilisation, benefiting industry, the environment, and society at large.

ISQ plays a very relevant role on this project by leading the Work package 4 (Bridging R&I and standardization). The main objectives of this WP are:

  • To engage the R&I community in demand-led innovation to advance priority synergies that meet defined industry needs.
  • Identify current R&I activities related to the priorities for IS standardization.
  • Identify IS standardisation needs based on current and future IS related R&D projects.
