Standardization and standards play a key role in today’s competitive landscape. It is already broadly recognised the importance of the standards and standardization regarding the knowledge and best practices transfer, global supply chain networks building and management, the achievement of economic efficiency and sustainability as well as boosting the innovations. Taking into consideration the importance and the urgent need outlined by the business and the industries for a workforce equipped with relevant knowledge and skills regarding standardization and standards, this paper is focused on the following questions: (i) what are the reasons the standards-related training are still not adequately represented in the academic disciplines; (ii) what is the University lecturers and students’ levels of awareness about the international and European standardization systems and their readiness to improve their knowledge and competencies in the field of standardization; (iii) what are the main aspects to improve the training in terms of standards and standardization in university education. The authors of this paper propose answers to these questions on the base of the results achieved through a comprehensive study conducted in five European countries in the framework of the international project “Standards Teaching in University Education” /STUNED/, funded by the Erasmus plus program of the European Commission.
