ASTM International, in collaboration with the Government-University-Industry-Philanthropy Research Roundtable of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will host a virtual workshop for stakeholders interested in the formation of a new Committee for Emerging Technology Commercialization (CETC).
The workshop is a response to stakeholders who have indicated interest in addressing early standards development in support of emerging technology commercialization. The organization invites participants and speakers to provide input into the potential scope and anticipate deliverables of the new CETC activity, including:
ASTM notes that domain experts can get involved early by responding to its inquiry survey: https://survey.sogolytics.com/r/UU2eJs.
“Technology commercialization depends on more than just technical readiness,” said Dr. Vanessa Chan, vice dean of innovation and entrepreneurship at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Engineering and Applied Science. “Through this activity, we can bring common criteria to bear in evaluating non-technical market, regulatory, and investment readiness for emerging technologies. In many cases, these external factors can present the most significant barriers to technology adoption.”
Access more information and register for the workshop, to be held on April 23, via Zoom.
