WG2 has been holding monthly webinars of 60 minutes each in order to get a better understanding of the research topics and potential synergies within the WG without physical meetings that are not doable during the pandemic.
The following webinars have been held so far:
8 June 2020, 1530-1700 CEST:
“China’s growing footprint in international technical standardization and its implications for Europe” (Tim Rühlig, The Swedish Institute of International Affairs)

WG members are invited to present new ideas or the findings of papers for 15-20 minutes and receive feedback from the rest of the group. The webinar is explicitly open to controversially debate new research ideas; no papers are circulated in advance. From our experiences so far, we will discuss how to proceed with the working group and organize physical workshops deepening cooperation and resulting in joint publications in 2021.
