Get started with Standardization – Second Interactive Conference on Standardization
Save the date: 25.+26. September 2024 live in Berlin
Standardization - the world's most boring topic? A necessary evil? Save yourself who can?
Unfortunately, many people think so.
In fact, standardization is a civil society system of participation and co-design. Following the basic idea of democracy, a structure has been created in which people can participate in specific topics and shape their own field. Similar to the related social rule-making (politics), there are also European (CEN/CENELEC) and international (ISO/IEC) associations in technical rule-making (standardization).
You could all write the standards - or your students, new colleagues, association members, customers, etc. - because, contrary to widespread belief, it is not we DIN employees who write the documents. You could sit together with others who have different perspectives on the same issue in a committee and jointly define the necessary technical requirements for this issue in consensus.
Okay, that sounds really boring now, doesn't it?
In fact, it can be very exciting. Because these seemingly unimportant little specifications define the direction for the future. Only with technical design can digitalization, the circular economy, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and other, still invisible topics succeed.
We cordially invite you to get to know this exciting universe and to integrate it into your teaching or knowledge transfer. Don't worry, you don't have to do this alone, we will support you.
When: September 25th from 12:30 until approx. 21:30 + September 26th from approx. 09:00 until approx. 21:30
