The event enabled the research community to learn about the latest European research projects, and the plans for future activities and funding as well as guidance on when, where and how to get involved in standardization. In turn, the standards community was able to learn about the latest innovative technology research areas that may have an impact on their future work, as well as making early connections to projects of relevance to their work. In addition, the ETSI Research Conference presented success stories and examples of research being integrated into standards, as well as indications from the standards community as to where they would seek research input to help move next generation standardization forward.

Overall, this face-to-face event provided an exceptional opportunity for the research community to come together with industry representatives and standardization experts to discuss future technology research and links to standardization developments.
