It will be a key event for everyone involved in weighing by bringing together researchers, industry and authorities from all over the world. During the three days there will be a large number of presentations on state-of-the-art developments regarding scientific, legal and applied metrology. Moreover, it is an excellent opportunity to meet relevant stakeholders from all over the world. The focus of the first edition is ‘Weighing in a global digital world’.

The conference includes a scientific metrology track focussed on research with respect to weighing. It will give the opportunity for everyone to present their research and discuss the ideas with interested experts. We are keen on hearing your ideas for a presentation. Interested researchers and other stakeholders are invited to submit an abstract of their presentations.

The main topics of the scientific metrology track are:

New definition of kilogram

The new definition of the kilogram became applicable in 2019. This new definition results in many changes in different related areas. Key topics related to the new definition of kilogram include: force, mass & torque.

Digitalisation

The digitalisation of weighing solutions will have an impact on a wide range of aspects. All this comes with challenges that need to be tackled and opportunities to improve processes and products. Key topics include: digital twins, digital calibration certificates, digital documentation, remote services, remote verification & machine learning.

New method development

Mass can be used for numerous measurements by using different methods. New methods can be development for new measurements. Moreover, current measurement methods can be improved to make them easier or more reliable.
