Braunschweig International Graduate School of Metrology B-IGSM

Metrology - the science of correct measurement - is an essential cornerstone of our industrialized society which is based on the division of labour. Metrology has an impact on practically every aspect of our lives, and metrological progress is a key enabler for technical development and, thus, for innovation. Given the prevailing economic and social challenges we are faced with, the role and the further development of metrology is of extraordinary importance for progress in technology and science.

Germany's oldest and renowned technical university, TU Braunschweig, and one of the top measurement institutions in the world, Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, joined forces to establish an international metrological training center - Braunschweig International Graduate School of Metrology - to foster metrological knowledge in all areas of science and engineering. Our research fields are in particular Metrology for Society, Industrial Metrology and Fundamentals of Metrology.
