PTB is the largest metrology institute in Europe with almost 2000 members of staff. It meets the major metrological challenges of our networked, highly technical world in close cooperation with its European sister institutes, other research establishments, standardization committees and legal metrology bodies. Health care, energy, the environment, safety and mobility are what is important here. In all these fields it is true to say that together we are strong! This applies to joint European metrology research, coordinated by EURAMET e. V. and supported by the European Commission to a substantial extent, as well as to the international harmonization of metrology. PTB is involved in numerous committees dealing with just that, to establish joint standards within Europe, so that cooperation can be based on trust.
