The EDU4Standards.eu Consortium is proposing a new CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) to innovate how standardization is taught in Europe.
More precisely, the goal of this CWA is to formalise the teaching methods and content developed within EDU4Standards, providing a framework for embedding standardisation education into academic programs.
Standardisation and standards are crucial for the EU's economic development, market integration, and achieving key goals like the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the digital and ecological transitions. Despite their importance, there is a significant shortage of standardisation education, with few higher education institutions (HEIs) in the EU offering relevant courses. This deficit is critical given the growing need for over 100,000 standardisation experts.
The CEN/CENELEC Workshop participants will be supported by the secretariat provided by the German Institute for Standardisation (DIN).
Any organisation with an interest in this topic and willing to contribute can join the CWA Kick-Off which will be held online
