On October 14th, the Portuguese Institute of Quality (IPQ) celebrated World Standardization Day, a day that highlights the importance of standards as fundamental tools for business competitiveness and innovation.

As in previous years, IPQ promoted several initiatives to mark the event, including events, promotional campaigns for standards, and the sharing of testimonials.

Among the testimonials shared, one stood out: researcher Alexandra Tenera (UNIDEMI), who emphasized the role of education and academia in bridging the gap between science and society:

“Education and academia bring science closer to society, transforming knowledge into social impact. In project management, standardization enables a common language for global collaboration for the development and advancement of innovation.”

IPQ’s celebration of World Standardization Day reinforces its mission to promote quality, trust, and harmonization in Portugal, highlighting how standards continue to be an essential tool for meeting future challenges.
