M4D Talks

Welcome to our information page on the M4D Talks event series by the IMEKO TC6 in collaboration with PTB International Cooperation

 

M4D Talks originates in what was previously known as CABUREK Talks, developed under the Global CABUREK Program "Metrology for Digital Transformation in International Cooperation" (M4DT-IC), supported by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB).

The series was created to foster competences and services in the field of digital transformation in metrology. Through this initiative, the PTB supported National Metrology Institue (NMI) representatives worldwide in modernizing their quality infrastructure for the digital age.

With the end of the M4DT-IC project, the M4D Talks will move under the umbrella of the IMEKO (International Measurement Confederation) TC6, the Technical Committee on Digitalization. Please find their website here.

If you would like to join the M4D Talks virtually, you may register here.
