As the UK’s National Metrology Institute and a Public Sector Research Establishment (PSRE), NPL ensures that policy makers have access to our specialist expertise and can draw upon evidence generated through our science and engineering research to help inform policy across a range of areas and industry sectors.

Evidence-based policy, regulation and decision making are heavily reliant on measurement and data, and NPL supports and provides the enduring measurement infrastructure to underpin those activities.

We have a selection of courses that can help those working in government gain an understanding of how measurement and metrology can help solve important challenges we face today, from healthcare and climate change, to AI and quantum computing.
