We successfully held the XR4Human Code of Conduct Conference, an important step forward in shaping how XR can be developed and used responsibly.

The conference focused primarily on the XR4Human Code of Conduct, presenting its structure, purpose, and role in guiding responsible XR development and deployment across Europe. Discussions explored industry stakeholders’ responses to the Code, as well as the accompanying interoperability guidelines. The programme also showcased the tools and methodologies developed within the project to support the Code’s practical implementation.

A central part of the conference was how these tools have already been used to enable self-assessment by developers whose applications are currently hosted in the Experience Library (EL).

The conference featured contributions from a broad range of stakeholders, including a representative of the European Commission, external invited speakers from industry, foundations, academia and members of the XR4Human consortium who presented project outcomes and insights. In addition, selected SMEs delivered five-minute pitches, providing visibility for innovative actors and helping bridge the gap between research, policy, and industry.
