WHAT HAVE WE DONE SO FAR AT EUROPEAN LEVEL?


The Joint Working Group on education about standardization

• set-up in 2010

• Members= CEN and CENELEC members + experts

• achievements so far :• a Policy• two model curricula• a repository of materials – see our website

• some initiatives at national level



29 June: first dialogue with academia and business

• full house• testimonies from key stakeholders• presentation of how it is handled in Asia

• general agreement that :• more should be done at European level• need to scale-up our activities
