Bolder Agency supported the promotion and visibility of the celebration of World Metrology Day and the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Meter Convention as part of the “Metrology Days 2025” conference.
The Convention, signed on May 20, 1875, laid the foundation for a unified global system of measurement units, significantly facilitating scientific and technical collaboration, as well as trade between nations and states.
Metrology plays a crucial role in everyday life, although it often goes unnoticed. Accurate and reliable measurements allow for the definition of quality and safety standards, stimulate innovation, drive technological progress, and contribute to science and education. Reliable measurements also support better resource management, increased energy efficiency, and environmental protection—key goals of sustainable development. Furthermore, standardized measurements enable fair trade and global economic cooperation, creating the conditions for more stable economic growth.
Today, metrology faces new challenges and opportunities, with digitalization, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity emerging as key areas that will shape the future of measurement.
World Metrology Day holds the designation of UNESCO international day, underscoring the value of metrology as a foundation for peace and cooperation among nations, science, the economy, and sustainable development.
