The 3rd International Conference on Metrology - November 14-16, 2006

Chairman's Letter of Invitation

Dear Colleague,

The 3rd International Conference on Metrology - Trends and Applications in Calibration and Testing Laboratories will take place November 14-16, 2006 in Tel Aviv. It is being organized, as were the previous two (May 2000 in Jerusalem and November 2003 in Eilat), by the National Conference of Standard Laboratories (NCSL International), Co-operation on International Traceability in Analytical Chemistry (CITAC) and the Israeli Metrological Society (IMS).

The International Measurement Confederation (IMEKO), the Israel Society for Quality (ISQ), the Israel Society for Analytical Chemistry (IACS) and the National Physical Laboratory of Israel (INPL) are the conference co-sponsors.

The conference will be held in conjunction with the 16th International Conference of the Israel Society for Quality. Since the Society's biannual international conferences are very popular and generally attract 1500-2000 participants, both specialists in metrology (measurement, calibration and testing, including chemical analysis) and quality professionals will have a unique opportunity to network with each other, interact with senior management and learn how to bring the "message" to as many people as possible.

In addition, a combined commercial exhibition within the framework of the two conferences on Metrology and Quality will be attractive for numerous participants and for producers of measuring instruments and quality products.

This 3rd International Conference is aimed at helping participants learn and develop new tools and techniques that will improve accuracy/quality of measurement, calibration and testing/analytical results. Thus the conference will have a strong practical focus.

It is my pleasure and privilege to invite you to take part in the 3rd International Conference on Metrology in Israel, to be an active partner in a challenging and fruitful endeavor and to contribute to its success.

Joining us at the conference will also enable you to enjoy exploring the Land of Israel, birthplace of the three great monotheistic religions.

We look forward to a peaceful 2006 and to welcoming you and your colleagues to Tel Aviv.

Dr. Ilya Kuselman
Conference Chair
