When people hear the word standards, they often think of plugs, connectors, protocols, or machines that need to work together. But standards do much more than enable interoperability between physical systems. They can also help shape less visible, yet deeply important, properties of digital systems—among them privacy and data protection, both closely connected to fundamental rights and European values.
Digitalisation and sustainability are transforming industries and societies at an unprecedented pace. Yet many promising innovations struggle to scale, while others rapidly become part of everyday life.
Why do some transitions succeed while others fail to scale? What allows new technologies to move from niche experiments to widespread adoption? And what role do standards play in shaping these dynamics?

On 29 November 2024, the E4S team of the University of Graz organised an internal workshop as part of the Edu4Standards.eu project at the University of Graz, Austria. The aim was to discuss, together with the internal Advisory Board (HFDT-E4S-AB), the integration of Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) on “standardisation in line with EU values and interests” into the Innovative Teaching Concept on Standardisation (ITCoS).
On 6 September 2024, the University of Graz will organise a one-day workshop in Graz, Austria. The aim of the workshop is to discuss the final draft of the value-based intended learning outcomes (ILOs) for standardisation education developed in WP2 T2.1 Define the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) for the education of standardisation.
