This year’s IMEKO2021, the annual meeting of the International Measurement Confederation (IMEKO), virtually brought together scientists, engineers, and measurement practitioners from all over the world. The conference featured the most recent developments in measuring science and technology and covered a wide range of topics, from astronomy to nanotechnology.
The significance of measurement science in addressing global concerns like climate change, healthcare, and cybersecurity was one of the major themes of IMEKO2021. For the creation of cutting-edge technologies, such as nanorobots for precision medicine delivery and nanosensors for environmental monitoring, exact assessment of materials and structural details is crucial.
The significance of metrology in astronomy, where precise measurement of celestial objects and events is essential to expanding our comprehension of the universe, was another important topic of discussion. The conference included talks on a variety of astronomical measurement methods, such as imaging, spectroscopy, and interferometry, as well as discussions on the application of metrology to the planning and development of big telescopes and observatories.
Measurement science developments in other industries, such healthcare and energy, were also discussed at the conference. For the diagnosis, monitoring, and development of new therapies and treatments in the medical field, precise and accurate measurement is crucial. Measurement science is essential to the creation and improvement of renewable energy systems like solar and wind power.
Presenters discussed the future of metrology and offered their most recent scientific discoveries and technology innovations throughout the conference. Participants had the chance to share their experiences, learn from their peers, and ask questions throughout the interactive workshops and panel discussions.
Along with the educational programs, IMEKO2021 included a virtual expo displaying the most recent measurement science-related goods, services, and innovations. For a few period following the event, registered participants had access to on-demand recordings of all conference sessions, enabling them to make up for any missed presentations.
IMEKO2021 was a huge success in terms of exposing the various uses of measurement science and the significance of accuracy and precision in tackling global concerns. The conference provided a forum for cooperation, knowledge sharing, and the development of metrology by bringing together professionals from many sectors.
