Testimonial from Dr Olia Kanevskaia Whitaker, Assistant Professor at Utrecht University - Department International and European Law
Given today's rapid technological advancements and the evolving geopolitical landscape, there is a need to revisit the balance between regulation and innovation. Therefore, it is vital for students to understand the pivotal role standardization plays in shaping technology regulation.
Collaborating with ETSI has provided the Utrecht Summer Law on Global Power and Technology with a valuable, practical dimension, allowing students to translate theoretical concepts into real-world applications. The insightful guest lecture by Mr Alex Leadbeater (ETSI Fellow and chair of TC Cyber) sparked numerous engaging discussions that expanded students' perspectives on the intersection of cybersecurity and global regulation, the relationship between national and international frameworks, and the European view on cybersecurity standardization. ETSI's educational materials, with their clear explanations and illustrative examples, are an invaluable resource for both students and educators. They offer a straightforward understanding of complex topics, while also enabling teachers to seamlessly integrate them into their course material. Moreover, the licenses for the material are available free of charge, making this material highly accessible and ready to use for all students and academic institutions.
Collaboration between academia and industry is crucial in educating future experts in standardization. With real-world use cases, dynamic discussions, and high-quality study materials, students gain a comprehensive understanding of relevant institutions, regulations, and how these concepts are applied in practice. This exposure not only broadens their horizons and enhances their career prospects but also prepares them to become more skilled and effective standardization practitioners.
