In 2015, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by NCSL International (NCSLI) and EURAMET marking a long tradition of collaboration. At the EURAMET General Assembly a few weeks ago, NCSLI and EURAMET met to discuss further steps. "Both organisations have and will continue to benefit from the exchange of information," says EURAMET Chairperson Beat Jeckelmann. "A major goal is the development of technical position papers and documents that are mutually beneficial to the organisations, their membership and the metrology community at large."

"NCSLI and EURAMET are leading technical organisations that work to promote advancement in metrology and the measurement community. I believe both organisations benefit by participating in each other's annual meetings and by sharing technical documents such as EURAMET's calibration guides. Through our continued interaction, we can further build and enhance our partnership," comments Roger Burton, NCSLI President.

Already in 2007, NCSLI and EURAMET signed their first letter of intent and became liaison organisations. NCSLI is a professional trade organisation located in Boulder, Colorado (US). Its mission is to "provide the best opportunities for the measurement science experts and practitioners regarding exchange of information, promotion of measurement education and to develop means for organizations to resolve measurement challenges."

The membership is open to any organisation with an interest in measurement science and its applications in research, development, education and commerce. Members are companies, organisations, individual professionals and students. This wide representation of experience provides an opportunity to exchange ideas, techniques and innovations with others engaged in the measurement science community.

NCSLI was formed in 1961 to promote cooperative efforts for solving the common problems faced by measurement laboratories. Today, NCSLI has over 1000 member organisations from academic, scientific, industrial, commercial, and government facilities around the world.
