NEON is a multidisciplinary project aimed at accelerating the energy and mobility transitions through a comprehensive approach that takes into account social, economic, and technical aspects. The NEON project is carried out as a collaboration between industry and societal partners, government institutions, and a consortium of universities with 33 PhD researchers working in the fields of sustainable energy, smart & safe mobility, social integration, and integrated models. The various PhD researchers are divided into 10 different groups. Within NEON, these groups are referred to as Work Packages (WPs). The first six WPs (WP1-WP6) focus on the technical aspects of the Energy Transition: energy supply, energy transport, energy demand, electric mobility, charging mobility, and new mobility. Three other WPs (WP7-WP9) focus on the socio-economic aspects of the transition: personal preferences, governance, and societal values. The final WP (WP10) works on an integrated model, constructing quantifiable scenarios based on insights from all other WPs. This approach was deemed necessary because a true energy transition cannot occur without a deep understanding of the economic, ethical, regulatory, and behavioural barriers to the application of these technologies. This report was prepared as an output for WP8, working in partnership with Dialogic. The aim of this report is threefold. Firstly, this report serves as a preliminary analysis, identifying the available and required standards for each of the technical areas relevant to NEON. Subsequently, three areas will be proposed as focal points for a follow-up report outlining ongoing standardisation activities at the industry level. Secondly, this report is intended as an update for our partners on the multidisciplinary efforts within NEON, by providing an example of cross-package collaboration efforts. Thirdly, it aims to provide the PhD researchers in the social WPs with an easily readable overview of some of the work conducted by the technical PhD researchers, albeit from the perspective of standardisation.
