HSbooster.eu Standardisation Training Academy, all you need to know about standards is here

HSbooster.eu Standardisation Training Academy: Boosting Knowledge and Skills in Standardisation Education

Standards and standardisation drive innovation by facilitating the transfer, commercialisation, and valorisation of research results. On the HSbooster.eu website you now find a new webpage aiming to provide an efficient mechanism and accessible hub for resources boosting knowledge, expertise and skills in the field of standardisation. The HSbooster.eu partners are proud to publish it and make it accessible in time for the EU Valorisation week when the Code of Practice on standardisation in the European Research Area was presented during a specifically dedicated session on 27 April, 2023

 

The Code of Practice explicitly encourage R&I projects to engage in training in negotiation skills and policy work:

"Training related to stakeholder engagement and participation in standards development committees should be encouraged. Partners may find relevant information on support via the HSBooster.eu portal."

Through its training programmes, the HSbooster.eu Standardisation Training Academy aims to support the development of a skilled and knowledgeable workforce that can effectively engage with standardisation practices and promote their adoption in the industry. The resources available on the platform are aligned with the highest standards of quality and excellence in standardisation education, catering to learners of different levels, including beginners, intermediate, and advanced learners. Indeed, the academy offers a variety of training programmes that are tailored to the needs of different learners. These programmes are designed to provide a foundational understanding of standardisation principles and practices, as well as practical insights and strategies to deepen your understanding and take your skills to new heights.
