Sumario:The European Commission fosters the integration of standardization in its Framework Programs since a decade to disseminate and exploit the project results, thus increasing the projects’ impacts to transfer research results into practice. Especially complex topics such as city resilience need urgently research results to face the increasing hazards they are facing. However, there is a lack of a common approach for integrating standardization in collaborative research projects. Furthermore, these projects have the difficulty to engage the relevant stakeholders properly and to foster the application of the resulting standards. This research addresses these issues by proposing the AIDIP methodology, which includes the Analysis of standardization landscape, the Identification of end-user needs and standardization potentials, the Definition of a standardization strategy, the Initiation of standardization activities, and the Promotion and exploitation of conducted standardization work. In addition, the research showed that standardization supports the engagement of project stakeholders and that gathered factors to support the application of standards at city level are appropriate.
