Joint WG on Education about Standardization (JWG-EaS)
A joint Group of the three European Standardization Organizations, CEN and CENELEC members/ETSI Secretariat
The JWG-EaS is there to foster best practice in education about standardization in Europe
The JWG-EaS aims to help members:
increase peoples’ fair and positive knowledge of standardization
improve the understanding of the necessity of standardization amongst government officials, business executives and academia
increase the competency of participants in standards-making

Why?
“We are always part of/involved in the same circles, talking to the usual suspects, while Europe is moving forward without really considering standards as we know them”
“Very interesting event, very interesting people, lots of policy related discussions, real business talk, zero knowledge about standards (us)”
Quotes from results of CEN-CENELEC innovation team meetings with industry stakeholders

Europe Needs Action
The paradox:
CEN alone boasts 60.000 experts Standardization really is a multi-million (billion?) business Yet it is hardly ever taught as a discipline Business people see it as obscure technical stuff Experts’ age profiles are increasing, so is “private standardization”
Other countries are devoting a lot of attention to this
2008 Council Conclusions on standardization and innovation
The Joint Working Group has drafted a policy for us and our members to improve education about standardization
We have prepared model higher-education curricula, we’re working on one for vocational training/LLL
Challenge – to get academia to respond

Targets for our Policy
Several specific target areas:
Educational establishments and students – should ensure that all levels of formal education include
elements of standards and standardization in the curriculum Business, industry, governments and public authorities -
should enhance the knowledge and use of existing standards, recognizing their importance as a strategic tool and their impact on organizational effectiveness
should be given appropriate understanding to enable them to participate in standards making processes
Standards makers - need to achieve a level of overall competency, be familiar with
the tools available to them and be capable to impart this information to others

The Policy Elements
ESOs and their members should provide: Model standardization curricula (or at least a checklist of
topics) for specific education levels Arguments to help convince academia to include
standardization in curricula Easier information provision for students and teachers Best practices in training industry and federations in the art of
standardization Audience-specific communication initiatives Certification of competency?

Towards a Core Educational Curriculum
After the work of Henk De Vries and Dong Geun Choi
Draft provided by Alberto Simeoni (UNI)
The Joint WG has assessed member requirements
Main challenges:
Very different educational systems in different European countries
Difficulty to persuade educational authorities to add material to
well-established curricula
Post-formal training about standardization poses different issues
(and JWG is dealing separately with the vocational aspects)

Six Modules
Modules 1 and 2 provide basic contents and are considered part of any level of education:
Module 1: examples in every day life to raise a general awareness about the existence and importance of the standards (e.g. paper sizes, country codes, book codes, credit cards, exc.)
Module 2: factual/fundamental contents to raise a general understanding of main concepts (more detail…)

Modules 3 and 4
Modules 3 and 4 are normally provided by higher education even if some simplified contents are present in secondary education:
Module 3: Academic/theoretical aspects to learn and develop academic aspects of standardization, particularly standardization within disciplines such as business administration, law, engineering (more detail…)
Module 4: Case studies to learn about the impact of standardisation in business practice (e.g. ISO 9001 quality management, ISO 14001 environmental management implementation, standards enabling compliance with legal requirements, etc.)

Modules 5 and 6
Modules 5 and 6 provide advanced contents and can be generally associated to the post-formal education, even though, especially for module 6, some references can be included also in higher education curricula:
Module 5: Skill related contents to learn how to carry out a standardization-related task. They mainly provide communications skills about chairing and moderating a meeting, and managing consensus and negotiation also across different cultures
Module 6: Application of specific standards to learn how to implement or use specific standards (more detail…)
