If previously it was held offline or online, this time it was carried out in a hybrid manner, meaning combining offline and online. The seminar organized by the library in collaboration with BSN (National Standardization Agency) took place on Wednesday (12/5/2022). The theme of this seminar is “Standardization and Downstreaming of Innovation Supporting the Competitiveness of National Products” The purpose of organizing this activity is to provide knowledge about SNI and how to access it and also to provide inspiration and motivation so that every innovation product already has a standard determined by the government so that the product can be consumed by the public safely and with quality.
