Why?
Standards. They are all around us. They guarantee the safe and efficient use of products in our daily lives as consumers while at the same time create an equal level playing field for producers. Whether we talk about mobile phones, cars, buildings or algae. All levels of society benefit from it, knowingly or unknowingly of its existence. This is also why the European Commission requested the creation of European standards for algae. Join this webinar if you are interested to learn more about standards and how they can benefit the algae sector.
What can standards do for the algae sector? In this webinar, you gain knowledge on:
– which standards for algae are out there or in the making;
– how the European standardization process works;
– how you can get involved and propose new ideas for standards;
In this webinar presentations will be given by experts working in the field of algae and actively contributing to the creation of standards.
