The masters is an interdisciplinary programme including sociology, management and economics. It is developed in partnership by the University of Geneva, ISO and SNV (the Swiss national standards body).</p> <p>The programme focuses on sustainable development and in particular the idea that development processes need the active involvement of all parties likely to contribute to or to be affected by them. It underlines the importance of the participatory processes involving public and private actors at various levels ('social regulation'), including the standard-setting practices that provide essential voluntary agreements supporting the dissemination of knowledge, best practices and monitoring tools.</p><div class="clear"></div><div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="col-md-4 col-md-offset-1"><div class="media clearfix square"> <div class="media-left"> <figure class=""> <a href="/web/20210509094149/https://www.iso.org/research-and-education.html" title="Research" aria-label="Research"> <img loading="lazy" src="/web/20210509094149im_/https://www.iso.org/files/live/sites/isoorg/files/about%20ISO/what_we_do/research_and_education/img/library-white-3000-min.jpg/thumbnails/150x150" srcset="/web/20210509094149im_/https://www.iso.org/files/live/sites/isoorg/files/about%20ISO/what_we_do/research_and_education/img/library-white-3000-min.jpg/thumbnails/150x150 150w, /web/20210509094149im_/https://www.iso.org/files/live/sites/isoorg/files/about%20ISO/what_we_do/research_and_education/img/library-white-3000-min.jpg/thumbnails/300x300 300w" sizes="100px" class="media-object width-100 hover-zoom" alt="https://www.iso.org/"/> </a> </figure> </div> <div class="media-body"> <div class="entry-content"> <h6 class="entry-name entry-title"> <a href="/web/20210509094149/https://www.iso.org/research-and-education.html">Research</a> </h6> <div class="entry-summary"> Here you'll find a wealth of information that demonstrates the economic and wider benefits of standards. </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="clear"></div><div class="clear"></div> </div> </div><div class="clear"></div><div class="clear"></div><div class="clear"></div> </div> </section><section class=" "> <div class="container"> <div class="row "> <div class="col-md-7"><h2><a id="WSC" name="WSC"></a>WSC Academic Day</h2> <p>WSC Academic Day brings together researchers, educators, ISO members and other standards development organizations.
