• A new EURAS White Paper has been prepared by Wilfried Hesser and Henk de Vries discussing the current situation in standardization education. The paper gives a concise overview about current activities in Europe, Asia as well as on national level.
From their analysis of the current situation they derive a set of policy options highlighting the potential of standardization education to further align policy goals regarding standardization at the European level and practice
Among the several policy options they propose a "European Standardization Education Agency", comprising a small group of staff coordinating education activities, which in turn are outsourced to experts within and outside universities in the member states. This agency should have a steering group at the European level in which member countries as well as a variety of European stakeholders are represented. At the national level they propose a parallel structures.
