An interdisciplinary programme which involves three disciplines: sociology, management and economics – a partnership between the Univesity of Geneva, ISO and SNV
The programme focuses on sustainable development and on the notion that sustainable development processes need the active involvement of all the actors likely to contribute to or to be affected by them
This includes the participatory processes involving public and private actors situated at various levels (“social regulation”) and the standard‐setting practices that provide essential voluntary agreements, supporting the dissemination of knowledge, best practices and monitoring tools
DG - 2011-06-29 WSC Academic Day 2011 – 24
A plurality of partners are to be involved in the programme – internatinonal organizations, SDOs, experts from industry and governments participating in standards work
All the materials developed by ISO will be available to ISO members and interesterd academic institutions
Repository of education materials
Further to indications from the Academic Week 2011, ISO is working to build an international repository of education materials
Of course ISO is keen to cooperate with all the interested parties (from NSBs and academia) with a view to share what is already available and to better orient future efforts.
