A JOURNEY IN THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENTS
A JOURNEY IN THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENTS
INRiM Campus – Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica
On the occasion of World Metrology Day, INRiM – the National Metrology Institute of Italy – is opening the doors of its Campus at Strada delle Cacce 91 in Torino for a free event dedicated to the world of science, measurement, and curiosity.
On May 23, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 6:30 PM, visitors will have the opportunity to explore INRiM’s research activities up close and delve into the world of measurements — a fundamental part of daily life and scientific and technological progress.
The event "Saturday in Science: a journey in the world of measurements” will feature a rich program including guided tours of research laboratories, science talks, outreach activities, and playful-scientific experiences for all ages — all in an engaging and collaborative atmosphere.
As part of the event, attendees will also be able to visit the exhibition "Astral Connections: 7 Alphabets Between Earth and the Stars" by Turin-based sculptor Riccardo Cordero, curated by Silvana Nota. The exhibit presents 7 installations — a symbolic reference to the 7 base units of the International System of Units (SI) — creating a fascinating dialogue between art and science.
Event highlights include:
- Guided tours of research laboratories From the acoustics of the reverberation chamber to the precision of sound pressure standards, from climate-related measurements to time laboratories, and into the world of cryogenic and quantum devices — a scientific journey through the places where the invisible is measured and accuracy is defined.
- Scientific talks and outreach activities INRiM researchers will share their work through engaging and accessible presentations, reflecting on how measurements underpin our lives, drive innovation, and support sustainability.
- Playful-scientific activities Measurement-themed escape rooms, a treasure hunt on the International System, interactive quizzes on satellite navigation, lithography workshops, and more — because the best way to learn is through play and experimentation.
To participate in the scheduled experiences, online booking is recommended at www.ticket.it to ensure access.

Metrology: Building Trust in Policy Making
Metrology is the science that underpins trust, legal certainty, and transparency in public policy. In a context of technological innovation and energy transition, strengthening measurement and conformity assessment systems is essential for informed decision-making.
The hybrid workshop “ Metrología: generando confianza en la elaboración de políticas públicas” organised by the Centro Español de Metrología, brings together experts to address legislative developments, metrological infrastructure for electric vehicles, and the perspective of the manufacturing sector and conformity assessment bodies within the current regulatory framework.

Metrología: generando confianza en
la elaboración de políticaspúblicas
La metrología es la ciencia que sustenta la confianza, la seguridad jurídica y la transparencia en las políticas públicas. En un contexto de innovación tecnológica y transición energética, el fortalecimiento de los sistemas de medición y de evaluación de la conformidad es esencial para una toma de decisiones fundamentada.
El taller híbrido «Metrología: generando confianza en la elaboración de políticas públicas», organizado por el Centro Español de Metrología, reúne a expertos para abordar los avances legislativos, la infraestructura metrológica para vehículos eléctricos y la perspectiva del sector manufacturero y de los organismos de evaluación de la conformidad dentro del marco normativo actual.
