Walk of Standards
17 September 2024 | 16:00 to 18:00 | Austrian Standards (Heinestraße 38, 1020 Vienna)
Information: Registration for the Walk of Standards is no longer possible due to the high demand. We thank you for your interest and look forward to seeing you next time. You will receive information about the next Walk of Standards via our newsletter.
The Praterstern is much more than just a transport hub - it is the beating heart of Vienna, where people's lives intersect. Every day they stream across this square - on their way to work, to the entertainment district and to popular local recreation areas. But hardly anyone realises that an invisible force is at work in the background, ensuring safety, quality and a smooth flow of life.
This force is standards. What many people take for granted as ‘normal’ is the result of the work of 4,800 experts in Austria alone, who work every day to improve our lives through standards.
Experience this invisible force up close at the ‘Walk of Standards’ - a special neighbourhood walk on 17 September 2024. Together with the Viennese think tank Futurum Exactum, Austrian Standards invites you to discover the fascinating world of standards. Join us and see the Praterstern with new eyes!
🎧 To get you in the mood, we recommend our podcast episode ‘In der Normenschmiede’ at futurum exactum.
