Standards are a hidden pillar of EU policymaking, with the power to make or break legislation. Every part of our lives is touched by them – from the walls of our homes to the appliances inside. To ensure a clean energy transition, standards must be developed transparently, inclusively, and with a strong focus on the environment and consumers. This is the goal of the reaLIFEstandards project.
ECOS is looking for experts in the field of environmental assessments of soil functions and ecosystem services to represent and defend environmental interests in the development of standards and related policies. Our experts provide us with technical and scientific input and represent ECOS in standardisation processes and multi-stakeholder discussions.
In June this year, ECOS members got together at the Annual General Assembly and elected three persons to our Executive Committee. Get to know the people providing strategic direction to the Secretariat!
