Eurolab invites you to the International Conference and Seminar accompanying the upcoming EUROLAB National Members’ Meeting 2022. 

The 6th IMEKOFOODS Conference, jointly organised with IMEKO TC 23 “Metrology in Foods and Nutrition”, has extended the deadlines for its early registration fee reduction and abstracts submission.

The increasing use of electrification in transport and the need to store energy from renewable energy sources such as solar cells leads to challenges to provide suitable battery storage. These batteries need to operate for a long time, reliably and within stated performance criteria. New battery manufacturers are emerging as is a need for better regulation of standards, more efficient means of testing cells and considerations for material reuse at the end of a battery’s life. Hear from people involved in these topics about what is currently being done and what the challenges are for the future.

Making measurements in environments where most sensors would not survive or would only offer limited measurement data is extremely difficult. Hear from experts in this field who will discuss approaches to this challenge and introduce techniques and technologies that are available or becoming available to make measurements in hostile environments.

An MMN event in the series of talks about measurement strategy within manufacturing. Speakers will cover topics around instrumentation, environment, people and other factors which will influence a measurement. They will offer ideas about considerations needed prior to forming an appropriate measurement strategy in your business.

The Advanced Machinery & Productivity Institute recently began its first funded programme of research including both academic and industrially led projects. This event will give an overview of the programme and include examples of the current progress of some of these projects. Find out what work is being done, how you could be involved in the future and how to help influence future programmes of work within AMPI.

Many organisations have either started or are ready to undertake a change in the way they operate. This change takes the form of how they use data within their business to create additional value for their customers. This event will provide several opportunities to hear from experts that can help you get started on this journey and also pick the right approach for your business and your customers.

Electric vehicles are now a common sight on our roads and increasingly in other forms of transportation as we move towards a future which is less reliant on hydrocarbons. What are the challenges in making this happen and how are they being met? Hear from speakers from NPL and industry about the current and future states of electrification of transport.

A draft of the UKAS document “M3003 The Expression of Uncertainty and Confidence in Measurement Ed5” is now available for consultation. UKAS invites you to provide your feedback.

Markes International was founded in 1997 to develop advanced thermal desorption (TD) sample preparation technologies, which enhance the analysis of trace volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Markes began as a family-owned company in south Wales and has since grown to become a global market leader in TD.

The Analysis for Innovators (A4I) programme, led by Innovate UK, focuses on helping individual companies boost their productivity and solve technical problems by providing access to the UK’s top scientists and facilities.

BMTA has a direct voice in bringing to the attention of UKAS our members concerns and issues. This is endorsed by our membership of two UKAS committees; the Policy Advisory Forum and the Policy Advisory Committee.
