The BeyondXR Cluster is pleased to announce its 5th webinar in a series of events dedicated to advancing the Extended Reality (XR) ecosystem. Titled “Breaking Barriers: How Open XR Standards Unlock Interoperability and Compliance”, this webinar will focus on one of the most pressing challenges in XR innovation—standardisation.

Date: 14 July 2025

Time: 15:00–16:30 CEST

Registration: Eventbrite Link

Following the success of previous editions—covering AI in XR, training transformation, legal frameworks, and human-centric design—this event zeroes in on how open standards can act as a bridge between cutting-edge XR development and seamless, secure, interoperable deployment.

Why Standards Matter

XR projects funded by the EU are increasingly required to address interoperabilitycompliance, and standardisation activities. This webinar will provide a platform for project representatives to:

  • Showcase their contributions toward XR standardisation.
  • Discuss relevant results that could become future standards.
  • Share experiences and challenges in aligning with compliance and industry frameworks.

The webinar promises to spark dialogue and offer actionable insights for researchers, developers, and policymakers working on interoperable XR systems.

Get Involved

All members of the BeyondXR cluster and their affiliated networks are invited to:

  • Register for the event.
  • Disseminate the event link through your project’s channels.
  • Use the promotional banner (attached in the original announcement) to help spread the word.

Looking Ahead

This is not the end of the conversation—further webinars on XR standardisation are planned for Q4/2025 and beyond, offering continued opportunities for knowledge sharing and community building.

Stay connected. Break down silos. Build the XR standards of tomorrow—together.
