NPL Open Day

NPL will be holding an open day for the first time in over twenty years so you can see for yourselves the amazing research they do.

As the UK's National Measurement Institute NPL develops and maintains the nation's primary measurement standards, to ensure accuracy and consistency around the world. As well as being the home of the metre, the kilogram and the second, their scientists use measurement to solve all sorts of problems in all sorts of places - from cancer treatment, Earth observation, farming, mobile phones, GPS, electronics, and countless others. Wherever measurement is needed, NPL is there.

On Thursday 20 May 2010 (World Measurement Day) they will have a variety of science laboratories open as well as a programme of short talks and an exhibition to showcase their world-leading science. Go along, meet their scientists and prepare to be amazed!
