Posters will need to describe a measurement and metrology challenge in the topic area, covering expected impact and describing either recent progress achieved and the future evolution of the work and/or identifying new needs in metrology and how these could be addressed. Posters that meet these criteria will be displayed as electronic posters and publicly visible on the BIPM anniversary website. The Poster Committee will select 9 posters (1 from each topic area) with the lead author invited to give a short oral presentation on May 21st during the live workshops celebrating the anniversary.
The submission process requires authors to first submit an abstract of their intended poster. This will be reviewed to check that it is within the topic scope and meets the criteria described in the previous section. If this is the case, the author will be invited to upload their poster (pdf file) and a 3-minute recorded explanation of their work (mp3 file).

Guidelines for abstracts

Abstracts, of up to 500 words, should describe a measurement and metrology challenge in the topic area of choice, covering expected impact and describing either recent progress achieved and the future evolution of the work and/or identifying new needs in metrology and how these could be addressed.

The deadline for receipt of abstracts is 15 January 2025

Both abstracts and subsequent posters submissions are required to be in English.

In submitting an abstract, the submitter agrees to accept the acceptance/rejection of the decision of the Poster Committee as final and without appeal. Abstracts/posters that do not describe measurement/metrology activities and challenges will be considered out of scope and not accepted. Submissions will be open to all those working on metrology challenges in these topic areas.

Guidelines for Online Posters

Those with accepted abstracts will be invited to submit electronic poster (pdf file) including a 3-minute recorded oral presentation (mp3 file) , which will be publicly visible together with the accepted abstract on the event website.

The deadline for poster submission will be 15 February 2025.


The Poster Committee will select a poster from each topic area that they judge to best meet the submission criteria and most clearly illustrates an example of a metrology challenge and activity in that area.
