World Metrology Day 2025
Dear colleagues!
On May 20 of every year, the entire metrological community celebrates World Metrology Day!
This holiday is testimony to the global recognition of the importance of the profession of metrologist in ensuring effective economic and social development.
The theme for World Metrology Day 2025 is Measurements for all times, for all people.
This year is particularly special because it also marks 150 years since the Metre Convention was signed and the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) was established.
Measurement is fundamental to every aspect of our lives – from trading goods, to monitoring our health, and observing and understanding the world around us. The original signatories of the Metre Convention understood this and had a vision that was clear and ambitious: to unify and improve measurement systems worldwide, establishing a system that would serve “for all times, for all people.”
Faithfully yours,
Volodymyr SKLIAROV,
Acting General Director of the NSC "Institute of Metrology"
