International Metrology Congress celebrates 40th anniversary

The International Metrology Congress (Congrès International de Métrology, CIM) was first held in Bordeaux in 1983. Since then, the event has moved around a lot until it settled definitively in Lyon. Metrologists are used to working alone, but they need to keep up to date with the latest technical standards, regulations and technological developments. It is from this desire and need that this International Congress of Metrology was born. This biennial congress moves with the times and their constraints, but has always kept its DNA, as Pierre Barbier, initiator of the event, notes.

International Metrology Congress: Embedded in important trade show

Once again this year, the congress is dedicated to industry and R&D best practices applied to measurement, analysis and testing. The event is a meeting place for science, industry and institutional metrology organizations. Once again, the congress will take place from March 7 to 10 as part of the French industrial trade fair "Global industry" at Eurexpo Lyon, where around 40,000 visitors are expected. 

The event extends over four days with the aim of addressing, studying and dealing with all the topics that meet the international challenges. The International Metrology Congress is an opportunity to share expertise and gather information on the development of research in the field of measurement.

A "muscular" program at the heart of global challenges

200 presentations are planned, six roundtable discussions on the current topics of hydrogen, the circular economy, Industry 4.0, digital change, professions and health. A plenary event with the motto "Limitless Metrology at your fingertips" will also focus on topics such as Industry 4.0, the environment and health. There will also be a supporting program with many networking opportunities, including in the "Village Métrologie", where various poster presentations will also be on display. The organizers are expecting around 800 participants from 45 countries to attend the congress, mainly from industry, but around a third will also come from education, research and calibration institutes.
