Education about ICT Standardization

Education is an important instrument in raising awareness and providing support for standardization. To promote the ICT standardization process, it is important to increase the understanding and attractiveness of standards with lecturers and students alike. Strong teaching materials provide a major tool that can be used to convey the value of standardization. ETSI has published a detailed textbook and corresponding slide presentation in 2018. Entitled “Understanding ICT Standardization: Principles and Practice”, they have been produced in order to assist academia and students in understanding the value of well written technology standards. The textbook and slides can be downloaded from the ETSI website. The overall objective of this initiative is to get feedback for the material as we move into 2020-2021 as ICT is an ever-changing field.
