BSI EDUCATION PODCAST - Why teach about standards?
Episode 2. Universities make a significant contribution to BSI and to standardization. We use leading university expertise to help inform and shape our standards development programmes, from sustainable development and digital manufacturing to connected and autonomous vehicles. Through a range of activities, resources and materials, we work with universities to help raise student awareness of the benefits of standards to society and the economy, and to encourage and increase participation in standards-making. And academics are part of our standards-makers community, either as individual experts or representing HE institutions. In this episode we hear from leading academic and standards-maker, Dr Irina Brass, Associate Professor at UCL’s Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy (STEaPP) about her 'standards journey' and the reasons why she’s such a passionate advocate for standards education and research. The BSI EDUCATION PODCAST is hosted by Matthew Chiles - Educational Development Manager at BSI, and Alan Sellers - Senior Compliance Manager at Dyson and Chair of BSI’s Young Professionals Advisory Panel.
