The BEC is pleased to invite program directors, Deans, lecturers, teaching staff, and PhD students to a full-day workshop “Bringing Standards to Universities: Integrating Standards, Compliance, and Market Reality into the Engineering Curriculum” on Thursday, 28 May 2026, from 09:00 to 16:25 at the CENELEC Offices.

The day is structured in two blocks:
- Policy & Institutional Insights: Speakers from the European Commission, CEN-CENELEC, and UNECE will discuss funding, legislation, and best practices for integrating standards into university programs.
- Industry & Academia Perspectives: Leading companies (Legrand, IBA, Siemens) and universities will share real-world examples of standards in practice, curriculum integration, and project-based learning.
