CEN StandarDays In October 2006, CEN initiated CEN StandarDays, a two day training session aimed at newcomers to European standardization, as well as those who would like to understand the CEN system better. CEN StandarDays are organized twice a year. The next edition of CEN StandarDays will take place on 28 and 29 April 2009 in the CEN-CENELEC Meeting Centre at our new premises: Avenue Marnix 17, B-1000 Brussels. Registration will open soon. ObjectivesCEN StandarDays give a clear and structured overview of the European Standardization System, of the CEN products and processes, as well as the benefits of involvement to potential stakeholders. FormatCEN StandarDays is a two day information session consisting of an introductory plenary meeting, which explains the different aspects and tasks of CEN (day 1) and interactive, in-depth workshops (day 2). This structure gives participants the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the overall European Standardization System (day 1) and then take advantage of the CEN expertise to obtain further clarification and explanations (day 2). For whomCEN StandarDays are aimed at all actors interested in the European standardization system: industry, consumers, administrations and government, European institutions, research centres, national standards institutes, etc. ParticipationParticipation is free. Since there a limited number of places, registrations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis and will close when the maximum number is reached.

Thank you for the opportunity to attend the CEN StandarDays. The meeting was very well-organized and the speakers were outstanding! I learned a tremendous amount and I shall probably attend another StandarDays in the future to visit different workshops. Eric Maughan, College of Knowledge, Duisburg-Germany – April 2007 |

We will be participating soon in CEN/TC 19 (Petroleum products, lubricants and related products) and in a CEN Workshop and it is good to gain knowledge on background and connections. Mr S. Mikkonen, Neste Oil Corporation Technology Centre, Finland – October 2007 |

Thank you very much for the opportunity to attend the CEN StandardDays. It was very well organized and the CEN speakers – or shall we call them the CEN coaches? - were very good. They were very helpful, very friendly… but most of all they were all so motivated and enthusiastic to explain everything about standards! We learned a lot and we will promote future CEN StandardDays to everyone who is/will be involved in standardization. Annelies Lightband - MDCPartners |

I express my satisfaction with the perfect organization and contents of the 4th CEN StandarDays. As newly appointed Head of the BDS International Activities Department, I would like to thank you personally for the kind readiness of the entire CMC team to support BDS activities in their variety and to assist our future initiatives and active involvement in the European Standardization System. I was also impressed by the team work carried out and professionalism in arranging the interactive work during the seminar sessions and the working discussions. This was also a perfect example for me to be transferred to the workshops and conferences BDS is going to organize towards attracting the Bulgarian industry and stakeholders to the benefits of standardization. Julia Stefanova, Head International Activities Department, Bulgarian Institute for Standardisation (BDS) - February 2008 |
