Empowering Standardisation through Education in Europe

Innovating how standardisation is taught in European Higher Education

Who we are

EDU4Standards.eu is a brand-new research project funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme. Our eclectic consortium brings together the key players in education on standardisation in Europe. Led by Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, the consortium brings together universities, higher education institutes, standardisation bodies and associations, and SMEs.

EDU4Standards just started in January 2024. Over the next three years we aim to address key strategic objectives.
