with ETSI

and the standardization processes
is continuously growing, and both
education and training are beneficial.
Standardization is a profession which
requires specific knowledge, skills,
and insights. These include not only
technical but also institutional, legal,
cultural and social dimensions.

ETSI, as the ICT standards body in
Europe with global outreach, is
