INTERNORM : Pôle interactif des savoirs dans les processus de normalisation internationale
2010 - 2014
grant-giving organisation : Fondation Anthropos et Direction de l'UNIL (Switzerland)
Applicant : Jean-Christophe Graz
Other partners : Christophe Hauert; Danielle Buetschi, Alain Kaufmann, Marc AUdetat
INTERNORM is a three year pilot project funded by the University of Lausanne (2010-2013). It is conceived as an interactive knowledge center based on the sharing of academic skills and the experiences accumulated by the civil society (especially consumer associations, environmental associations and trade unions) in order to strengthen the participatory process of standardization. The project provides cognitive ressources to civil society actors through the involvement of experts from the University as well as a financial support for their participation in committees - membership fees, travels and accommodation costs.
