The New SI: A New Dawn For Users Of Measurement?

In an historic moment on 16th November 2018; the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) Agreed proposals to redefine the SI System of units including redefinition of four of the base units. These redefinitions come into force today. Here we look at what this might mean for users of measurement beyond the Laboratories of the National Standards Laboratories. Today (20th May) sees the launch of a new set of definitions of SI units. These are changes that have been rigorously researched and argued over for many years and are a remarkable achievement, amongst other things, finally laying to rest the last unit based on a physical artefact (the kilogram). There will be lots of publicity today about what this all means for the Scientific community [For inspiration try https://www.linkedin…

Community Collaboration

The Sussex Network’s interaction with the local community mainly revolves around our series of talks, our STEM activities and developing relationships with the local universities. Non-members attend our talks at two locations (north and south of the county), we meet children at STEM fairs, where we have an IET stand, and at workshops that we run in schools, and we give student prizes. Our collaboration is really only in the form of our members who sit on university Industrial Liaison Boards. But perhaps that is not community collaboration in the strictest sense. So a request from the Engineering UK Business Partnership Manager and Head of STEM Sussex to attend a discussion with a community group was intriguing, particularly since their interest was to promote the achievements of Dame Caroline…
