Sustainability and digitalization: What's on the agenda at the International Metrology Congress 2025?
The International Congress of Metrology (CIM) will take place for the 22nd time at Eurexpo Lyon (France) from March 11 to 14, 2025. This must-attend event in the field of metrology and measurement focuses on best industry practices and applied research on the reliability of measurement data.
The CIM is organized by the CFM (Collège Français de Métrologie) and attracts almost 650 participants from 45 countries every year. The congress renews its partnership with Global Industrie, the largest industrial trade fair in France, thus consolidating its position as a key event for the sector.
Transition at the heart of every challenge
Metrology plays a crucial role in addressing today's environmental and digital challenges. This year, the focus will be on how metrology can support sustainability in numerous oral and poster presentations as well as in the main plenary session of the congress. Furthermore, the digitalization of metrology, one of the biggest challenges for the next decade, will be addressed in three conference sessions and three roundtable discussions.
"This year we chose the title 'A New Metrology for a Sustainable Industry and Society' because the program highlights how metrology is changing and how our community is seeking new ways to contribute to the sustainability challenge," says Martin Milton, BIPM Director & CIM2025 President
Four days to get started
