Advancing Standardisation Education
The EDU4Standards project is developing an Innovative Teaching Concept of Standardisation (ITCoS) aimed at integrating standardisation more comprehensively into the curricula of Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) across Europe. This initiative seeks to equip the next generation of professionals with a thorough understanding of standardisation, enabling them to contribute effectively to global market dynamics through informed standardisation practices.
Curriculum Development
Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) for Standardisation Education: A main outcome is the EDU4Standards.eu value-based Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) framework, developed to support the Innovative Teaching Concept for Standardisation (ITCoS). The framework addresses fragmentation in standardisation education by offering a structured approach to qualification levels and embedding EU values, as well as green, digital and gender skills.

Topical and methodological map of standardisation education: Another key output is the analysis and categorisation of existing teaching content and methods related to standardisation, based on input from Consortium partners and broader educational practice. This work identifies both established approaches and current gaps, particularly in relation to the integration of EU interests and values in standardisation education.

Innovative Teaching Concept on Standardisation – Use Guide for Standardisation Education: explains the Innovative Teaching Concept of Standardisation (ITCoS), outlining the features defined in the project proposal for EDU4standards.eu and the General Agreement associated with it. The ITCoS aims to integrate standardisation more comprehensively into the curricula of higher education institutions (HEIs) across Europe. Its purpose is to equip the next generation of professionals with a deep understanding of standardisation, enabling them to contribute effectively to global market dynamics through informed standardisation practices. The ITCoS serves as the foundation for further pilot development, covering courses for bachelor's and master's programs, in-company training, and extra curricular formats.

Teaching Reporitories
Another core component of the project is the consolidation of diverse teaching materials and approaches from external organisations into a single, accessible resource. This curated collection supports the development of the Innovative Teaching Concept for Standardisation (ITCoS) and reflects the growing interest in education on standardisation. In the longer term, this effort contributes to the harmonisation of standardisation education. As more higher education institutions integrate the teaching concept into their curricula, it is expected to foster greater competitiveness, drive innovation, and raise the overall quality of standardisation education across Europe.
