INSTAR is an EU-funded project that aims to shape the future of international ICT standardisation by promoting EU values and interests in key emerging technologies (AI, Cybersecurity, Digital ID, Quantum, IoT, 5G, 6G and data) by collaborating with relevant entities from Australia, Canada, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, USA. This unique combination enables effective knowledge sharing, policy formulation, and the development of harmonised global standards strategies, taking into account the specific nuances of each participating entity.

The synergy between SEEBLOCKS.eu and INSTAR started with promoting INSTAR as one of the EU-funded projects driving standardisation in Europe, during the "COMPSAC 2024: Digital Development for a Better Future", organised by the IEEE Computer Society, in Osaka (Japan). This was possible thanks to the distribution of SEEBLOCKS.eu flyer  where INSTAR was listed, to almost 500 delegates from around the world. The IEEE Computer Society is the premier source for information, inspiration, and collaboration in computer science and engineering, serving industry and academic research scientists and practitioners since 1977.
