Join IBioIC and the British Standards Institution (BSI) for a lunchtime event on the role of standards.
The session will give attendees the chance to dip their toes into the world of standards, through an introduction to standards and why they are important, and crucially why they play a key role in shaping government policy. There will be a chance to ask questions to the experts as part of a Q&A.
The event is open to everyone and free to attend.
