Third interactive conference on standardization
01.+02. October 2025 live in Berlin
Standardization – Your Tool for Co-Creation
Standardization, beyond simply applying individual standards, is the collaborative process through which standards are developed. Didn't know that? You're not alone.
Standardization:
Is not a state-controlled, but a civil society system.
Enables you (and your students, trainees, colleagues, members, etc.) to introduce your own concerns.
Shapes important future fields, ensuring the success of digitalization, circular economy, and other topics.
And yet, it's barely taught.
We invite you to share this important knowledge.
This event is part of the European research project EDU4Standards, dedicated to fostering standardization knowledge in education. Learn more at https://edu4standards.eu/.
Mark your calendars! The next "Durchstarten mit Normung" conference is happening on October 1st and 2nd, 2025. Let's shape the future of standardization together.
When: 1. October 2025, from 12:00 to approximately 21:00 + 2. October 2025, from approximately 9:00 to 20:30
Where: also at DIN e. V., Am DIN-Platz, Burggrafenstraße 6, 10787 Berlin
Who: Teachers of all types and disciplines. So not only professors, doctors, post-docs, guest lecturers, etc. from educational institutions, but also people who offer seminars in associations, train young professionals in their own company, or want to pass on standardization knowledge as consultants.
What: Two exciting days with many short lectures, teaching materials and serious games (The more detailed program can be found here).
NEW THIS YEAR: A pre-seminar (1. October 2025 from 10:00 to 12:00) for all those who have little or no experience with standardization so far. This way you can start the conference perfectly prepared!
Costs: This event is completely free for you. We invest all our heart and soul in the preparation, and your commitment is our greatest reward. Bring your passion for the topic and enrich the discussion with your ideas.
Important note: This year, the conference will be held in English. Don't miss this chance to connect with the European and international standardization teaching community!
