Once again this year, LNE will be present at a major event in the world of measurement: the International Congress of Metrology. It will be held from 7 to 9 September 2021 in Lyon.
The SI comprises seven units of measurement that are found in every aspect of our day-to-day lives; they are especially critical to industry. For the last two centuries, metrologists have been constantly working to improve those units of measurement, and four of them were redefined in 2018. Read our comprehensive report on the subject.
