Conferences, workshops, seminars, webinars, and other activities related to the DTG
Following its intention to improve the visibility of digitalisation efforts in legal metrology, the DTG has developed partnerships with organisations such as IMEKO, the International Metrology Congress, and the International Conference on Weighing, in order to carry out joint activities. Recently, the DTG also started organising a first webinar series on digitalisation in legal metrology.
2024
In March 2024 the DTG, together with BIPM, coordinated the first international conference of the signatories of the Joint Statement of Intent. The conference took place at the BIPM in France back-to-back with the inaugural meeting of the CIPM Forum “Metrology and digitalisation”. The conference covered topics from the international quality infrastructure, scientific, and industrial perspectives.
In April 2024 the DTG initiated its first webinar series on Digitalisation in legal metrology. This first series contains four sessions:
- Fundamental principles of digitalisation in the quality infrastructure
- Remote testing and services
- Machine-readable information in metrology
- Digital technologies for processes in legal metrology
The recording of each session is published on the OIML YouTube Channel.
