Why is standardization important to students? A positive example from Croatia

Standards have a strong impact on society and contribute to the safety of everyday life. Besides, knowledge of standardization has numerous benefits for the labour market, as it can contribute to the dissemination of new technologies and skills. For this reason, attracting new talent (and especially young professionals) to standardization is key.

 

The Croatian Standards Institute (HZN) wanted to know how much students know about standards and what they think about the impact of knowledge standardization on career development. HZN’s Department for International Cooperation and Public Relations has therefore conducted a survey about this topic among students at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology of the University of Zagreb, Department of Analytical Chemistry, in cooperation with Danijela Ašperger, Ph.D., professor at the Faculty.
