This three day event includes a two-day class in “Basic Measurement Uncertainty” followed by a one-day workshop. The class covers introductory materials plus uncertainty propagation and specialized data analysis tools needed for the proper estimation of data quality. It includes lecture, in-class experiments with data analysis and the in-class working of problems to solidify the learning. This course will provide participants with the tools needed to do data quality assessments at their organizations. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their uncertainty problems for discussion on the third day.
The 2-day short course will be given by Ronald H. Dieck, a world know specialist in measurement uncertainty. It is important to note that the workshop has been organized in such a way that participants can bring their specific uncertainty problems which will be discussed in class on the third day. Registration is open as of today. The number of participants is currently limited to 40 on a first come first served basis.
We draw your attention on the fact that our annual General Assembly will be held on Wednesday May 23rd, from 17:00 to 18:00.
