February 2019, , ,

This year, 5 SCOPE members visited the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in Teddington, London. For over a century, NPL has been a synonym of excellence, contributing to the UK technological and economic development. More recently, NPL has started expanding to several locations in the UK, including Scotland. The latest is in close partnership with the University of Strathclyde, which prompted our interest and facilitated the logistics involved in our visit. We were welcomed to NPL by Richard Burguete, Postgraduate Institute (PGI) director, and met several NPL PGI students over tea and biscuits.
