The International Measurement Confederation (IMEKO), which was founded in 1958, is a nongovernmental
federation of 42 Member Organizations, each of which is concerned with the advancement of
measurement technology. The objectives of the Member Organizations are being promoted by IMEKO’s 24
Technical Committees (https://www.imeko.org).
The IMEKO World Congress is an international conference with a focus on measurement technology that
takes place every three years in a different country. The international participants of the
Congress come from the fields of metrology, economics and politics.
Under the motto of Think Metrology!, the 24th IMEKO World Congress will shed light on both well-
established and new, highly current topics. The high-quality program will involve teams of experts,
high-ranking speakers and more than 700 internationally leading metrologists who will provide
insight into the diverse and innovative fields of metrology.
Measurement has always played a pivotal role in the city of Hamburg’s development. Where generations
of merchants and tradesmen once weighed spices from across the globe in ounces, those working in
today’s shipping industry now weigh containers in megatons.
As a gateway to the world and with a history of more than 1400 years, Hamburg offers the perfect
setting for this congress. Over the centuries, trade and innovation have been instrumental in the
growth and development of the city, which is now the second-largest in Germany. This and the over
20,000 researchers and university students at numerous renowned institutions make Hamburg the
perfect location for science and research.
The conference venue is located in the very heart of the metropolis and has everything necessary to hold a modern, international conference at its disposal. The brand-new Congress Center Hamburg (CCH) is one of the largest and most modern congress centers in Europe, with unparalleled technology that can fulfill international standards of sustainability and accessibility. A vast amount of space, multifunctional rooms, cutting-edge equipment and excellent catering promise to provide the perfect setting for technical discussions and events.
