D5.1 Stakeholder Engagement Mid Term Report

Effective stakeholder engagement is the pillar to any Coordination and Support Action project. This deliverable showcases the efforts conducted by the StandICT.eu 2026 consortium to expand the project’s community base during the first half of its running. Building from the work done throughout the first two iterations of the project, it was able to further extend its links with three specific stakeholder groups identified as critical from the start of the project, and for which new project partners (DIGITAL SME, Fraunhofer, and Open Forum Europe) were included to StandICT.eu 2026’s consortium (in addition to existing partners Trust-IT, Dublin City University, and AUSTRALO).
