Abstract: The growing complexity and globalization of industries highlight the crucial role of standardization in ensuring quality, interoperability, and innovation across sectors. Europe needs the best standardization experts to pursue its global standard-setting ambitions to safeguard a digital, green and resilient single market. As industries evolve, the demand for experts well-versed in standards and their implementation becomes increasingly urgent. The strategic importance of standards requires more attention and promotion. Students do not often get the value of learning about standardization until a later stage of their career. At the same time, the industry, public authorities, and societal stakeholders need experts to assist them in the standardization process. Increasing the incentives for students and universities to engage in standardization depends on market attractiveness and societal perspective on standardization This paper presents an example of best practice of collaboration between national standardization bodies of Romania, Bulgaria, Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain and University of Life Sciences "King Mihai I" from Timisoara, Romania in developing micro-credential courses. This paper investigates whether the integration of standardization into educational frameworks represents a new and necessary vision for developing the next generation of experts.
