Workshop

DKE Young Professionals
Camp 2022
An intensive networking and concept development workshop for young professionals
from all over the world◼ 11 – 14 August 2022, Offenbach am Main, Germany
Participants of the DKE Young Professionals Camp, will be introduced to the various programs ofthe Next Generation DKE. This includes activities and programs to facilitate the entry intostandardization for young standardizers. Some examples are a standardization regulars' table, amentoring program, and a thesis funding program. In addition, the members of the Next
Generation DKE will explain how they created the current community and what opportunities they
have to build a valuable network with experienced experts that will accompany them throughout
their careers.
At the same time, the participants will get the chance to present their NCs' activities for young
professionals. This should be communicated with a short project outline to the organizing team
directly during registration, so that a presentation can be included in the agenda. If such national
activities do not yet exist, participation is of course still possible.
In the further course of the camp, the participants will develop and draft their own new projects. Insummary, this should result in a portfolio of concepts that can be implemented in the short tomedium term and which can be easily adapted by YPs to expand the program of their NCs. The
results will be made available to all participating NCs and can expand and enrich the programs foryoung professionals. In addition to the individual workshop sessions, there will be an exciting
program with various activities and excursions.
