In today’s world, the precision that underpins scientific and industrial advancements is crucial, especially in the pursuit of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the heart of this precision are women who are leading the field of metrology, driving innovations that are essential for global sustainability. As part of the IMEKO event, we’re spotlighting these contributions, with a special focus on how women in metrology are paving the way for a more sustainable future.
Spotlight on Carla-Cristina López-Canchola: Latin American Women in Metrology
A key highlight of the IMEKO event is Carla-Cristina López-Canchola’s presentation on the participation of Latin American women in metrology. Her talk will explore the unique challenges and opportunities these women encounter in industry and academia, emphasizing how their contributions are shaping the field. López-Canchola’s insights will provide a deeper understanding of how Latin American women are overcoming barriers and making significant strides in metrology, contributing to global progress toward the SDGs.
Panel Discussion: Sustainability through Precision
Following López-Canchola’s presentation, the event will feature a panel discussion titled Sustainability through Precision: Women Leading Metrology and Energy. This discussion will highlight how the work of women in metrology is essential for implementing sustainable practices and policies that align with the UN SDGs. The panelists, who are distinguished leaders in the field, will share their experiences and insights on how precision in measurement is critical to achieving sustainable outcomes in energy and beyond.
The Role of Women in Metrology for Achieving the SDGs
Women in metrology are essential to the success of the SDGs. Their work ensures the accuracy of measurements that underpin advancements in energy, environmental monitoring, healthcare, and more. By leading in these fields, women are not only advancing their respective areas but also playing a crucial role in driving the broader global agenda for sustainable development.
