STANDARDISATION MANAGEMENT
12.12.2024 – 13.12.2024
Standards are a crucial factor across the sphere of research and innovation. They form the framework upon which our technological and scientific development is built. Immerse yourself in the world of standardization processes and learn more about the intricate relationships between standards and innovation. In a time when progress and change shape our daily lives, we will closely examine the role of standardization in shaping our future and uncover the key concepts and connections between standards and innovations.
Learning goals

Prof. Dr. Knut Blind has been Professor of Innovation Economics at Technische Universität Berlin since 2006. Between 2008 and 2016, he also held the Endowed Chair in Standardization at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam. In addition, he is the coordinator of the Business Unit ‘Regulation and Innovation’ at the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI. His research focuses on analysing the connection between regulation and innovation. Specifically, he deals with the impacts of regulatory framework conditions on the innovation behaviour of companies, which he explores on both a macroeconomic and microeconomic level. Specifically, he deals with the impacts of regulatory framework conditions on the innovation behaviour of companies, which he explores on both a macroeconomic and microeconomic level. In addition, he analyses standardization as a form of self-regulation in formal institutions, but also in consortia as a knowledge and technology transfer channel in the context of research and development, and in the context of public procurement, cluster promotion and state regulation as other instruments of innovation policy. Another research focus is on intellectual property rights, from patents to open-source licenses. His publications are generally based on econometric analyses of economic statistics and other indicators, some of which he developed himself, but also on survey data. In 2017, he was elected a member of the German Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech) in recognition of his scientific achievements.
