Presentations:
On many of these documents also presentations are available which may be downloaded and used for presentation and/or education.
Please note:
- The presenter is expected to be familiar with the content of the associated document.
- A general introduction to the CENSE project and the CEN standards is available as stand alone presentation.
- These presentations may be gradually updated and provided with notes to facilitate their use as stand alone presentations. For that purpose the file names contain the date of the version.
