Standardisation practices in research organisations: benefits, myths and criticisms

10 February 2026 RISE

Interested in understanding how standards shape research and public action without stifling creativityJoin this conference dedicated to standardisation practices in research organisations, exploring their benefits, misconceptions and critical perspectives.

Through the insights of three field experts, this event offers a nuanced discussion on how standards can help structure public and academic organisations while still leaving room for innovation, flexibility and creative thinking.

Topics will include the recent ISO 9001:2015 certification of RISE at the University of Liège, the application of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards in services provided to industry, as well as a critical analysis of the sometimes ambivalent effects of standardisation on institutions and individuals.

A valuable opportunity to exchange perspectives, deepen your understanding of standardisation in research, and take part in a collective reflection on its benefits, limits and human impact.
