Recently, the 111th Council Meeting of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) reviewed and approved the “International Standardization Young Expert Award” initiated by Zhang Xiaogang, a Chinese standardization expert and former ISO chairman. The “International Standardization Young Expert Award” was officially approved by ISO. This is the first time in the 74 years since ISO was founded that it has authorized a global standard award initiated by an individual expert. This is not only ISO’s high recognition of Mr. Zhang Xiaogang’s work as ISO Chairman, but also full recognition of China’s ability and level in participating in international standardization activities.
This award aims to encourage and support the participation of young experts in international standardization, stimulate the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of young leading talents, promote the sustainable development of international standardization, and provide strong talent support for promoting the implementation of “ISO Strategy 2030”. This award is awarded once every two years and supports the winner to work in the ISO Central Secretariat for half a year.
In the next step, we will continue to increase our efforts in building the international standardization talent team, actively promote the introduction of Chinese experts to international standards organizations such as ISO, consolidate and enhance my country’s influence and voice in international standards organizations, and give full play to China’s role in promoting the future development of international standardization.
