An Arrangement recently signed by MSL and NMI follows previous MOUs signed in 2007 and 2017 and reflects an ongoing intention to cooperate to build metrology capability. The areas of mutual interest identified in the Arrangement are:

  • Technical and scientific exchange through virtual teams, joint projects, and facility access arrangements.
  • Cooperation to engage with the Pacific and Indo-Pacific regions.
  • Collaboration to support the indigenous interests in our respective countries.
The Arrangement provides a framework to bring together the wealth of experience and expertise that the two institutes hold. Dr Annette Koo, Chief Metrologist at MSL says that, "This increased resilience secures the benefits that good measurements bring to New Zealand – in trade, innovation, and looking after our people and resources."
