International Metrology Congress celebrates 40th anniversary
From March 7 to 10, 2023, the International Metrology Congress (CIM2023) will take place in Lyon. This year, the event is celebrating its 40th anniversary - and things are getting big.
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
This year's congress is once again dedicated to industry and R&D best practices applied to measurement, analysis and testing. The event sees itself as a meeting point for the scientific community, industry and institutional organizations in metrology. Once again, from March 7 to 10, the congress will take place within the framework of the French industrial trade fair "Global industry" will be held 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 lectures are scheduled, six roundtable discussions on the current topics of hydrogen, the circular economy, Industry 4.0, digital transformation, professions and health. A plenary event with the motto "Limitless Metrology at your fingertips" is also dedicated to focal points 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. For the congress, the organizers expect about 800 participants from 45 countries, mainly from industry, but about one third also from education and research as well as from calibration institutes.
