The European Commission and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) organise a workshop to collect feedback on updating the Smart Applications Reference (SAREF) specifications.
The Smart Applications REFerence (SAREF) ontology is a pivotal framework designed to enable interoperability among smart devices within the IoT (Internet of Things) ecosystem. The European Commission has been spearheading and funding SAREF over the last decade. SAREF has also been standardised and further developed by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute). SAREF provides a standardised language that allows diverse smart devices to communicate and interact seamlessly, ensuring that data can be shared and understood across different platforms. This ontology explicitly specifies core concepts and relationships within the smart applications domain, facilitating meaningful interactions between devices within multiple sectors.
To update the stakeholders on the latest developments in SAREF, collect their feedback and showcase the current usage and potential of SAREF, ETSI and the European Commission are organising the workshop “Enhancing IoT Semantic Interoperability by SAREF for Digital Twins”. This event will bring together industry and academia stakeholders, SAREF users, representatives involved in standardisation efforts, and policy makers to discuss recent developments, implementation, and future directions of the SAREF ontology.
For more information on the event, and to register to participate, please visit the event website. Please note that registration closes on 18 September 2024.

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
