How do we measure that?
Please join us for a seminar on the many aspects and applications of metrology. This will be an in-person event for IOP members at the IOP building in London, on 18 September 2024.
The event will start with a networking lunch at 12:30. Members of the IOP Membership Team will be on hand to talk about membership benefits, professional registration, and how they can support continuing professional development. Committee members of some of the Special Interest Groups, Nations and Branches will be representing their activities, and providing information and encouraging attendees to get involved. If you wish to represent your Group, Nation, or Branch at this event, please get in touch with [email protected] to request poster or exhibit table space.
This will be followed by the seminar, beginning with a welcome from IOP Honorary Secretary Alison McMillan, and then we will hear from speakers below, who will talk about four different facets of metrology.
