June 2023
Our teams have been busy enhancing MSL's role as a world class national metrology institute over the past few months. We celebrated World Metrology Day, which this year was about supporting the global food system, and we have been hard at work maintaining our measurement capabilities and contributing in a variety of ways to the international quality infrastructure.

In this edition, we introduce MSL’s new Strategic Plan. It was heartening to see our community taking a collaborative approach towards attracting and training talent in our field, a notable upshot from the MSA conference held in February. Another opportunity to get together is World Metrology Day, being held on Friday 19 May!

We welcomed over 200 participants to CPEM – finishing the year renewing connections with colleagues and developing many new relationships. The MSA conference is next up in Wellington in February 2023, and we spotlight STEM activities.
September 2022
The Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM) is coming to New Zealand in December and Dr Murray Early shares his journey in metrology and what he is looking forward to at CPEM. We also spotlight the New Zealand clocks and officially welcome Dr Annette Koo to the MSL and Protoshop Director role.

For the first time, we gear-up to celebrate World Metrology Day 2022 hybrid style. We also acknowledge the great work done by our Length Standards team in setting up a national centre for coordinate metrology, and we introduce the MSL Moon Buggy!
