We’re celebrating the expected redefinition of the SI system of units with a lecture series across the UK
Academic research routinely uses the SI units, but a more thorough understanding of them can support your research.
We’re offering STEM departments in universities all over the UK the opportunity to learn about the science behind the redefinition from the scientists that have been leading the research.
The one-hour lecture will cover:
- The importance of measurement and how it is at the heart of all science and engineering
- How the accuracy of any measurement is fundamentally limited by how accurately the units of measurement are defined and realised
- The benefits of defining units based on natural constants rather than artefacts
- The significance of the redefinition of the SI base units
If you would to build this opportunity into your lecture series, please contact us.
As well as meeting the students who will one day be leaders in their fields, we’re also on the hunt for the brightest stars to choose a career at NPL.
