Building the HSbooster.eu Standardisation Training Academy

27 September 2022 02:00

Description

Standardisation and standards can be valuable means for the transfer, commercialization, and valorization of research results of the EC-funded H2020 and Horizon Europe projects. However, processes of standardization and activities of research projects have different dynamics, and general awareness of standardization among researchers is low. This workshop aims to gather academia, standardization professionals, and experts to discuss their experiences and lesson learned in standardisation training. Furthermore, this workshop will raise the question of serving the needs of EU projects in training standardisation skills – what skills are needed and how they can be improved.

Target Participants

  • Standardisation experts with experience in Training and Education
  • EC-funded H2020 and Horizon Europe projects with an interest in standardisation.
  • Policy makers and decision makers.
  • Representatives from ESOs, NSBs and SDOs.
