Hi everyone! Our names are Bibi and Janne and we conducted an internship at SFS from March 2022 until May 2022 as part of our thesis projects. We both studied the master Management of Innovation at Rotterdam School of Management.

In order to research this, several students from Rotterdam School of Management were sent to different standardization bodies to research a specific standard.
