KRISS hosted the 17th summit with NMIJ(National Metrology Institute of Japan) in Jeju on May 28. Dr. Sang-Ryoul Park, the president of KRISS and Dr. Takashi Usuda, the director general of NMIJ, and all the delegates from both institutes discussed a wide range of agenda items, including quantum electrical standards, non-destructive measurement, strategy and policy making process and activities, etc.

Especially, the two directors, taking the note of the importance of their cooperation in the field of quantum electrical standards, agreed to step up substantive cooperation to make fruitful research results. They also expressed expectations for the active participations of their researchers in upcoming events such as ACRM 2019 and IMEKO 2021 World Congress which will be held in Japan.

KRISS-NMIJ Summit is seen to have served as a useful opportunity to reaffirm a close cooperation between the two NMIs and to explore more ways to strengthen it.
