PROGRAM CIM2025
The CIM is the premier event where metrology intersects with science, industry and quality infrastructure organizations.
This 22nd edition promises another dynamic 4-day program, featuring parallel sessions tackling global challenges. 100% in english, with over 200 presentations covering oral and poster sessions, along with round tables, workshops, a short course and a variety of social events, the CIM continues to be a hub of cutting-edge discussions and networking opportunities.
Below, you'll find the short program as well as the detailed conference schedule ⤵️
Click here to see the short programWe live in an era where face-to-face interactions are no longer the norm, and the products, services, and systems we depend on are becoming increasingly complex and digitalized. This transformation, in both scale and complexity, is unprecedented.
Technology is now deeply embedded in industrial processes and business models, transforming supply chains and integrating across all levels. With this digital evolution, ensuring quality and safety is more critical than ever.
Quality Infrastructure (QI) forms the foundation for development and safety assurance. It connects metrology, standardization, accreditation, conformity assessment, and market surveillance. For example, standardization enables economic efficiency and access to global markets by ensuring precise measurements and product verification. Accreditation adds another layer of confidence.
While industries have quickly adapted to the digital age, has QI evolved fast enough to stay relevant to markets, consumers, and regulators? Failing to bridge these gaps could risk QI becoming a barrier to innovation. We'll explore how QI is adapting, and look ahead to the future challenges and opportunities in maintaining trust and confidence in this digital landscape.

We are facing an increasing number of pollutants. Pharmaceuticals, pesticides or microplastics, pose significant threats to both the environment and human health and metrology can play a critical role in addressing them. Yet, our ability to detect, quantify and assess their impact is still limited. Accurate and reliable measurement techniques are essential to fully understand the scale of these risks. This round table aims to explore the current gaps in our measurement capabilities, the development of new metrological methods and the standards needed to ensure robust, reproducible data. By fostering collaboration between scientists, policymakers and industry, we can create solutions that will help protect our planet and ensure a healthier future for all.
