Pilots

EDU4Standards is implementing a series of pilot programmes designed to integrate and refine the teaching of standardisation in various educational and professional settings across Europe. These pilots are central to our mission of enhancing standardisation education, addressing the critical need for skilled standardisation experts, and ensuring that the curriculum remains relevant and effective for both current and future needs.


Each pilot is carefully designed to test the Innovative Teaching Concept of Standardisation (ITCoS) across different educational landscapes, including:

  • University courses: Tailored to fit into existing Bachelor's and Master's degree frameworks, focusing on embedding standardisation into a wide range of disciplines.
  • Extra-curricular activities: Including seasonal schools and workshops, these pilots aim to offer practical, hands-on experiences with standardisation.
  • In-company Training: Targeted at professionals, these pilots seek to enhance the standardisation skills of current workforce members within various industries.
  • Pan-European Initiatives: Collaborating with Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) across Europe to broaden the reach and impact of standardisation education.

The following pilot initiatives have been successfully delivered by the EDU4Standards consortium partners, showcasing the project’s ongoing commitment to integrating standardisation within education and training.

EDU4Standards is implementing a series of pilot programmes designed to integrate and refine the teaching of standardisation in various educational and professional settings across Europe. These pilots are central to our mission of enhancing standardisation education, addressing the critical need for skilled standardisation experts, and ensuring that the curriculum remains relevant and effective for both current and future needs.

The consortium of EDU4Standards.eu has developed an innovative teaching concept, related deliverables and an implementation guide (ITCOS) for education and training of future European standardisation experts. This will be tested in the mentioned pilots.

To enhance the impact, the consortium invites all stakeholders, interested in this new form of education on standardisation. Teachers, groups of teachers or any other institutions from the EU or Associated countries, which want to set-up a pilot base on the ITCOS is welcomed to join our forces and to submit proposals for the Open Call for Pilots on Education for standardisation.
