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 ⤵️
The second quantum revolution will lead to unprecedented technological capabilities opening up important scientific and business opportunities. The worldwide investments in quantum technologies are important in the academic as well as in the industrial sector to accelerate progress.
However, for these investments to be effective the new technologies must be properly characterized and calibrated with measurements traceable to the International System of Units, which is the universal standard for all technologies. Thus, an accessible and fit for purpose testing and validation infrastructure for quantum technology is clearly needed.
What are the needs of the nascent quantum industry? How can metrology help a faster adoption of quantum technologies? What can be done to bridge the gap between fundamental research and industry uptake? Is there sufficient funding for the needs of the community and to reach the high expectations? Which skills are relevant and are they on hand?
This round table will tackle these questions, share some insights and try to give clues how to adapt to these new trends.

NEW PRESENTATION FORMAT
The aim of the short course is to describe and illustrate the different routes opened by ISO/IEC 17025 to ensure the traceability of measurement. The speakers will first recall the definition of traceability and the general requirements to be fulfilled. Then the course will develop these concepts and requirements on different examples: for calibration laboratories, in the field of testing and more generally in measurement. Practical cases coming from the audience will be welcome and, as far as possible, addressed.
This presentation will be led by the following expert speakers:
- Laurent Vinson - COFRAC / FRANCE
- Marc Himbert - LE CNAM / FRANCE
Session Chair: Francesca Pennecchi - Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica / ITALY
Session Chair: Jan-Theodoor Janssen - National Physical Laboratory / UNITED KINGDOM
Session Chair: François Piquemal - Laboratoire National de Métrologie et d'Essais / France
Session Chair: Miruna Dobré - SPF Economy / BELGIUM
