The Italian ASD took place in Milano on 9 May 2025 at the headquarters of the Italian standardization organisation, UNI.
The day was organised together with Politecnico di Milano and focussed on the role of standardization in the circular economy. To promote the day representatives of UNI visited Politecnico di Milano prior to the event to raise the interest. To further incentivise students.
The event benefitted from the collaboration with the European project Bioradar which provided a case study for the students allowing them to get practical insights to the value of standardisation as a knowledge valorisation route from R&I to market. The day also included a workshop as well as interviews with industry that gave students insight to the career opportunities and needed skills.
What worked well: Diverse industry collaboration with both bigger renown companies and SMEs, collaborating with a Horizon Europe project within the topic allowed for an alternative industry perspective.
Recommendations: Team up with “influencers” who are popular among the students to get their attention, capture the event in videos, pictures and testimonies to have material to promote next editions and inspire others
