3. Session 1
• Standardization can create barriers because of
loss of creativity
• Standardization is seen as not being dynamic:
changes are difficult, the standardisation process
takes a lot of time
• Research for standardization topics is considered
as standardization work and create barriers for
funding (seen as pre-normative research)
3
4. Session 1
• Awareness about the possibility to spread results
of research via standardization
• Academic input could raise objectivity of standards
• Collaboration between universities and industry in
order to develop new technologies
• Information about technical content of standards
are included in some curricula (e.g. Eurocodes)
• Lack of knowledge of the standardization
procedures, why the process takes so much time…
4
5. Session 2
• Standardization can be seen as a barrier to
innovation but is also be a driver
• Two different stages: idea + implementation.
During the implementation stage standardization is
an important driver
• Know-how could come from internships
• The content of the curriculum depends on the
lecturer’s awareness and past or current experience
5
6. Session 2
• Studying a standard is also an opportunity
to innovate
• Knowledge about standardization in CV is
an advantage

7. Question?
Session 3
• Feedback from research to standardization
commissions (e.g. to develop test methods,…)
when active participation
• Useful for multidisciplinary research activities
• A standard is not always adapted to the needs of
innovation (a innovative product may be covered by
a standard which is not adapt to it)
•…

8. Session 3
• Some sectors need standards to innovate. For
some others, standard may constitute a brake to
innovation.
• Definition of standard: gives the state of the art
about a specific technology. Discrepancy between
standard and innovation
• Spreading of research results could be better done
i.e. the publication of TS or TR.
• Request from academic world for more input
about standardization knowledge (procedures,...)
8
9. Session 3
• Lack of knowledge/awareness about the utility of
standards
• Costs for participation and utilization of standards
• Provide awareness that education about
standardization supports the industry
