标准2025CEN和CENELEC共同参加了由爱沙尼亚总统和欧盟委员会于11月14日至15日在爱沙尼亚共和国首都塔林举行的高层活动“安全研究、创新、教育活动”（SRIEE 2017）。讨论的重点主要是如何缩小研究与市场之间的差距，使创新解决方案能够满足从业者和其他用户的需求。与会
者包括欧洲各国的研究人员、行业代表、公共安全服务提供商、从业人员（即消防部门、情报机构等）和决策者。
爱沙尼亚总理尤里.拉塔斯（Jüri Ratas）主持了开幕式，并发表欢迎致辞，致辞中强调了需要明确如何提高创新能力。
致辞后，围绕“向研究界传达从业者的未来需求”和“安全研究的未来”举行了两个高层专题讨论会。
CEN和CENELEC秘干事埃琳娜.圣地亚哥.希德（Elena Santiago Cid）受邀作为第1高层小组（从研究到实践者和最终用户）的发言人。
小组成员集中关注欧洲安全市场的分散化，以及欧洲安全部门的研究可以通过什么举措来提高竞争力，并提供一致的解决方案。
针对这些关注点，圣地亚哥女士说，采用标准能够减少市场分裂。她再次强调了标准化作为自愿性工具在有效地利用或带来创新方面所起到的重要作用需要引起关注，加上CEN和CENELEC体系的优势，能使利益相关方云集一起，达成共识。
为了在Horizon2020研究项目中发挥标准化的作用，圣地亚哥女士分享了正在开展的欧盟FP7安全研究项目ZONeSEC（欧盟宽域监测框架）采用的方法，而该项目正是CEN-CENELEC研讨会（CWA）商讨“宽带监测安全系统的互通性”的项目之一。
很多重要的公共基础设施，如高速公路、能源线、管道（如输气管道）等都有广阔的空间覆盖范围广泛。ZONeSEC CWA启动会议将于12月11日在希腊雅典举行。
圣地亚哥女士总结了她为SRIEE高层小组所做的工作，并邀请了安全部门与标准化业界接触，共同制定支持该部门提高欧洲竞争力的解决方案。
Solving market fragmentation through standards in the Security sector
CEN and CENELEC were present at the high-level event ‘Security Research, Innovation and Education Event’ (SRIEE 2017), organized by the Estonian presidency and the European Commission which took place in Tallinn on 14-15 November. The main focus of the discussions was how to reduce the gap between research and the market, so that innovative solutions can meet the needs of practitioners and other users. Participants included researchers, industry representatives, public security providers and practitioners (i.e. fire departments, intelligence agencies, etc.) and policy makers from across Europe.
Estonian Prime Minister Jüri Ratas opened the event and gave the welcoming speech emphasizing the need to identify ways to improve innovation uptake.
Two high-level panels focusing on "Conveying the future needs of Practitioners to the Research Community" and on "The future of security research" took place following the welcoming speech.
Elena Santiago Cid, CEN and CENELEC Director General, was invited as a speaker in High-level Panel 1 – From Research to Practitioners and End-users.
The panellists focused on the fragmentation of the European security market and what European research in the security sector can do to increase competitiveness and offer harmonized solutions.
In response to these concerns, Ms Santiago explained that market segmentation can be reduced through standards. She confirmed the important role that standardization plays as a voluntary tool that can deploy or bring innovation to the market and the strength of the CEN and CENELEC systems to bring all stakeholders together to reach consensus.
Addressing the role of standardization in Horizon2020 research projects, Ms Santiago shared the approach taken by ZONeSEC, an FP7 security research project which is in the process of initiating a CEN-CENELEC Workshop (CWA) on the ‘Interoperability of Security Systems for the Surveillance of Widezones’.
Widezones are critical public infrastructures such as highways, energy lines or pipelines (i.e. gas pipelines), etc. that spread over large areas covering wide geographic zones. The kick-off meeting of the CWA for ZONeSEC will take place in Athens on 11 December.
Concluding her contribution to the high level panel of SRIEE, Ms Santiago invited the security sector to reach out to the standardization community and join forces in developing solutions which support the competitiveness of the sector in Europe.
