Albania Commemorates World Metrology Day 2024

In celebration of World Metrology Day 2024 in Albania, the General Directorate of Metrology (DPM) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) are pleased to announce two enlightening workshops to be held in Korça and Tirana. These workshops are designed to educate stakeholders from various sectors, including public, private, and academic, as well as SMEs and testing laboratories, about the profound importance of metrology in the context of sustainable agriculture and trade.

Our main objective is to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application by showcasing how metrology underpins sustainability in agriculture and trade. Through interactive presentations and workshops, we will illustrate how precise measurements support every stage of agricultural production, from cultivation to distribution, ensuring adherence to quality and safety standards crucial for sustainable development and trade practices.

By highlighting the nexus between metrology, sustainability, and trade, our aim is to empower stakeholders with the requisite knowledge and tools to promote environmentally conscious practices and contribute to a more sustainable agricultural sector in Albania.

Following the workshop in Tirana, attendees will have the opportunity to visit the state-of-the-art laboratories at DPM, further enhancing their understanding of metrology's role in agricultural innovation, sustainability, and trade.

Indonesia celebrates World Metrology Day 2024

Welcoming the commemoration of World Metrology Day in 2024, the National Standardization Agency of Indonesia (BSN), as the National Metrology Institution of Indonesia, is preparing a series of activities related to WMD. BSN is planning to organize the event in collaboration with the Directorate of Metrology of the Ministry of Trade (Ditmet Kemendag), which is responsible for legal metrology activities in Indonesia.

A National Seminar will be held on May 20, 2024, under the theme "Strengthening Metrology Infrastructure to Accelerate Inclusive and Sustainable Economic and Environmental Transformation." During this event, BSN will discuss the role of quality infrastructure, consisting of standardization, conformity assessment, and metrology, in supporting sustainable living. Ditmet Kemendag will present how legal metrology contributes to inclusive, environmentally conscious, and sustainable trade. This event will also be supported by the National Standardization and Industrial Policy Agency (BSKJI) of the Ministry of Industry, which will discuss the role of metrology in supporting green industries.

Moreover, BSN and Ditmet Kemendag are organizing a competition for the design of measuring instruments to be attended by secondary school students (high school/vocational high school/Madrasah Aaliyah). This competition aims to raise awareness of the importance of metrology from an early age. Because we believe that to design a sustainable future, we need to involve the younger generation who will eventually become our successors.

Lastly, a call for papers was also held to provide an opportunity for all practitioners in the field of metrology to write scientific articles within the scope of metrology. The best papers will be published in the BSN instrumentation journal.

World Metrology Day 2024 in the Russian Federation

To mark the proclaimed by UNESCO May 20th as the World Metrology Day the metrology community of the Russian Federation led by the Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology (Rosstandart) in collaboration with the NMIs is going to organize a series of events on May 18-20, 2024, which are going to be held at the frequently visited and favourite place of Muscovites and guests of the capital ‒ the Exhibition of National Economic Achievements (VDNKh). Dedicated to the theme of sustainability the WMD-2024 encourages to highlight metrology’s value for quality of people’s lives. Among the planned measures are public lectures and discussions on the requirements for water meters for measuring cold and potable water, quality control of petrol (gasoline), and others. Since these issues concern, and are of interest for, the most part of society, these discussions may have a kind of training or educational importance. Today artificial intelligence is no doubt a burning issue. AI is in the focus of another WMD-event named “How to build trust in artificial intelligence”. For a dynamic and inquisitive audience ‒ young people ‒ the Rosstandart is offering a Quest named “Young metrologist”.

Besides, the Rosstandart management is going to hold a one-day roundtable, inviting metrologists from the regions, to share and discuss the directions and priority tasks of metrology development in the country.

Saint Lucia observes World Metrology Day 2024

The Saint Lucia Bureau of Standards (SLBS) joins the rest of the scientific community in observing World Metrology Day every year on the 20th May. The theme in 2024 is “Sustainability”. Our focus for World Metrology Day this year is therefore on the numerous measurement opportunities that contribute to the establishment of a sustainable global economy and environment.

In commemoration of this event the SLBS conducted a tour of the Metrology Laboratory and diagnostic laboratories at the National Agricultural Diagnostic Facility (NADF) at Union on Friday 17th May 2024.

This year also marks a new chapter in the promotion of World Metrology Day following the Resolution adopted by the 42nd Session of the UNESCO General Conference in November 2023 to grant official recognition by UNESCO to its celebration on 20th May each year. This will provide new opportunities to promote metrology, and aligns with UNESCO’s mission to construct a better world through science and education. Given this official recognition by UNESCO, the Saint Lucia National Commission for UNESCO was included in the touring delegation to the NADF.

For further information call Mr. Marciano Busby (Head of Communication) at 453-0049.

>World Metrology Day 2024: We Measure Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow

The National Institute of Metrology (Thailand) or NIMT is celebrating a dual occasion: World Metrology Day and NIMT's 26th anniversary! The event, held on May 20th, 2024 at IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center in Thailand, carries the theme "We Measure Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow."

The focus is on raising public awareness about the crucial role of metrology. Metrology, the science of measurement, is a cornerstone of the National Quality Infrastructure (NQI). A strong NQI is essential for sustainable national development, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements in various sectors.

The event aims to promote collaboration among key players in Thailand's quality infrastructure network. This includes areas like electric vehicles, food safety, herbal products, digital technologies, and rail systems. By working together, we can create a more systematic and integrated approach to quality, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable future.
