Organised by
The EDU4Standards.eu Project
EDU4Standards.eu is a research project funded by the European Union and it aims to innovate standardisation education in line with European values and interests within European Higher Education Institutions.
With standards as key drivers for economic growth, the project addresses the underutilisation of standardisation in education and research.
The Standardisation Strategy (COM/2022/31 final) emphasises the need for education & skills in chapter VI:
The use of standards is growing, the importance of standardisation for the competitiveness and public good is undisputed, but the general awareness and training on standardisation is comparably small. There is no formal education nor vocational training on standardisation....
Against this background EDU4Standards.eu is calling for an expression of interest in developing courses or modules for standardisation in higher education to be integrated in any discipline, including law, business and engineering. Also, modules for vocational trainings or trainings targeted to professionals are welcomed in any
field of work.
The purpose is to test the tools and services, which EDU4Standards.eu will provide.
