The congress aims to outline new challenges and requirements in the field of metrology, measurement and instrumentation, and will serve as the multi- and interdisciplinary meeting bringing together scientists and engineers from research and industry . The exciting program will include presentations of the latest research findings and applications in the areas of measurements,  industry-based workshops, distinguished plenary and keynote speakers, industry led concurrent sessions, and a plethora of networking opportunities.

The venue is in Rimini, one of the most visited and renowned coastal cities in central Italy.

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings on the IMEKO website in open-access format. A selection of papers will also be recommended for further publication in peer-reviewed journals as extended versions.
