Italia Italian National Metrology Institute - INRiM A tempo pieno 80.000 €

About INRIM

INRiM is a public research institution acting as Italy’s National Metrological Institute (NMI). INRiM realizes, maintains and develops the national reference standards of the measurement units of the International System (SI).

INRiM is the signatory of international agreements concerning metrology, including acting as delegated by competent organizations, and realizes and maintains national standards for units of measurement required as benchmarks, as is also the case for metrological institutes in other countries.

Basic and applied research in several fields – such as materials science, nanoscience, quantum optics, studies on the fundamental constants of physics – as well as the development of new measurement technologies and instruments enhance the metrology activity.

Through seminars, exhibitions, events and conferences INRiM disseminates its scientific findings and advancements. The Institute promotes education and training for young scientists by organizing PhD courses and financing scholarships and research grants.

INRiM participates as a member of technical bodies of the General Conference for Weights and Measures (CGPM) and so contributes to the definition of strategies and long-term research programs in the field of international metrology. It is also a member of organizations set up by Europe’s national metrological institutes to promote cooperation in metrological activities.

In order to meet the needs of industry, INRiM provides consultancy, calibration and testing services.

The Institute supports the National Laboratory Accreditation System by ensuring the quality of measurement standards and procedures and promoting the dissemination of the national standards of the SI measurement units.
