IMEKO - International Measurement Confederation  Technical Committee 11 "Metrological Infrastructure" (TC 11) organises
First International Symposium
RMO 2008 - Regional Metrology Organisations 2008 - November 12-15, 2008
"Metrology, testing, and accreditation - breaking the trading barriers" in Cavtat - Dubrovnik, Croatia 

Important dates:
Paper Submission Deadline: June 2, 2008
Acceptance Notification: June 16, 2008 

The aim of the Symposium is to bring together International Organisations - BIPM - Bureau International des Poids et Mesures, OIML - International Organisation for Legal Metrology, and ILAC - International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation, and Regional Metrology Organisations (RMO’s) - AFRIMET, APMP,COOMET,EURAMET,EUROLAB,SIM.
Representatives of the international organisations and chairpersons of RMO’s will describe functioning and prospective of their organisations. The representatives of the National Metrology Institutes (NMI’s) will be invited to present their efforts and to discuss hot topics and challenges
