"More than just a project: 25 years of KAN"

The Commission for Occupational Health and Safety and Standardization (KAN) will be marking its 25th anniversary this year with an event in Berlin.

We would like to invite you to join us at this event, and not only in order to look back on 25 years of KAN. The event will focus upon how standardization and regulation can respond to the challenges of the future, such as digitalization and artificial intelligence.

We look forward to seeing you in Berlin on 3 and 4 December 2019.
